The Il Briccolone Bookshelf is a unique piece crafted from Briccola wood, reclaimed from the historic Venetian lagoon's iconic piers. These timbers, weathered by time, water, and the elements, carry with them a history of years spent guiding vessels through Venice’s waterways. The natural wear and imperfections of the wood, shaped by its journey, echo the wabi-sabi philosophy—beauty found in the passage of time and the marks it leaves behind.
Through careful craftsmanship, the briccole is transformed into a striking bookshelf, preserving the soul of the wood while giving it a new life in modern spaces. Rather than being abandoned to rot, these beams are reborn, offering a sustainable, poetic recycling of materials. The Il Briccolone Bookshelf brings the charm and history of Venice into elegant homes, hotels, or creative spaces, where it stands as both a functional piece and a conversation starter—imbued with memories of the lagoon and the artistry of its reinvention.
