Throughout the entire history of Annibale Colombo
we have always striven to defend our tradition and our
philosophy: our essential values express themselves
through the use of high-quality materials, top-end
marquetry and intaglio techniques, ancient artistic
gestures that enable us to obtain clear-cut joints and
smooth finishes - expressions of an accomplished
handwork savoir-faire.
One of the cornerstones of our philosophy is the
safeguarding of the environment. In choosing our woods
quality is not the only factor at stake: all the material
we use is carefully sourced from sustainably managed
forests. All our dyes are strictly natural aniline-based
stains. The polishing is carried out applying shellac
with a felt block in order to obtain an exceptional,
transparent gloss. The surfaces are then finished with
beeswax, which, besides having a pleasant smell, has
antiseptic properties that protect the wood against dust
and parasites.
A passion for woodwork
Core values: the quest for perfection.
