MATILDE 4-door 2-drawer crystal cabinet
Measurements L.114 D.49 H.215 cm
Matilde is a glass cabinet composed of a base and a glass stand. The base has a solid wood top with a square edge and a shape that connects it with the structure. The latter resumes the processing of the top which has the two front edges cut at 45 degrees. The two drawers are smooth while the two doors have an ashlar panel with a spike notch (also available with a smooth ashlar panel). The riser rests on the base with two turned pillars that raise the display case to form a comfortable and useful support surface. The two doors of the riser are made of glass while the upper frame is shaped with the iconic gendarme hat shape. The display case, like the base, has a single compartment with an internal shelf. Available in all the finishes of the sample book, Matilde is a classic piece of furniture in Arte Povera style that finds its ideal environment in the kitchen or dining room.

ATRE POVERAL'arte povera is an artistic movement born in the second half of the twentieth century. It was one of its leading exponents who defined it as the art of reducing signs to a minimum, of impoverishing signs to reduce them to their archetypes. Emphasis is given not only to the work itself but also to the elements used, the materials used and the gestures of the artist. In the furnishings this is declined with the use of materials such as solid wood and thanks to the imagination and originality of skilled hands and artistic gestures, furniture with essential and sober lines is created. In the furniture sector, the definition of Arte Povera takes on the meaning of functionality, sturdiness and prestige artefacts. The product is the result of a production process in which manual skills and craftsmanship are expressed at the highest levels.
WHY WOOD Having a piece of wooden furniture in your home is not just a matter of style or taste. Its mechanical and technological properties such as resistance, hardness, good polishability make it a perfect material for furniture production. Chemical and physical properties are essential for creating a healthy living climate. Wood is a perfect thermal and electrical insulator, i.e. it protects us from heat and cold but easily shields us from magnetic fields. The strong hygroscopic property allows moisture to be stored in rainy seasons and released in drier periods. Wooden furniture not only makes the environment in which we live more balanced and healthy, but it is also good for our planet. Recent studies define that in order to support and certify the eco-sustainability of a product, it is necessary to analyze the 5 phases of the product's life cycle: Acquisition of raw materials, production, distribution and storage, use and end of life. Wood from sustainably managed forests makes it possible to produce green and eco-sustainable furniture.
