Annàlia Collection

Annàlia was born as an homage to the time held within wood—a celebration of its essence beyond its visible form. Even the name itself recalls the idea of years, of time layered and woven into the fibers of a living, ever-changing material.

Each trunk carries a visual narrative in its grain, like a natural chronicle telling the story of a unique being. The design process focused closely on the natural rhythm of these veins, alternating between tension and release: the tight, regular rigatino lines mark time with a visual cadence that draws the eye and sets the stage for transformation. Where the grain opens up and flares into bold figures, the strength of the material emerges—enriching the surface with depth and intensity.

This almost diagrammatic optical effect invites us to perceive the passage of time, prompting a deeper observation of the shifting natural lines etched into the wood’s surface. Annàlia’s soul—specifically designed to enhance this intrinsic narrative—resides especially in its legs: essential yet balanced, they complete the composition with a geometric presence that’s subtle yet distinct. Slender but sturdy, they serve as the silent support to a visual journey through the continuity of the grain, allowing the wood to speak in its purest form.

This interplay between flat, sloped, and curved surfaces highlights the coherence of the material, maintaining a balance between formal simplicity and intrinsic complexity. The design evolves as it flows through these shapes—a tangible trace of time made visible in every vein.

Annàlia is not just a piece of furniture—it is a project that gives meaning to the use of solid cedar wood, a precious and demanding material, both to produce and to regenerate. Every grain, every curve, is a conscious choice—a tribute to the time and natural resources needed to create something so authentic.

In this way, Annàlia becomes more than a crafted object: it’s a celebration of both craftsmanship and care for nature. A tribute to a material that carries within it years of life and memory.
