Woody Bar Stool Woody is an original bar stool designed by Odoardo Fioravanti for home and public areas. Woody is made from a plywood sheet mounted on a rolling pneumatic basement. The challenge was to create a wooden structure that supports functions of the stool. The solution led to an innovative shape. Two outgrowths come out from the seat and support the tube-shaped steel footrest. The bar stool is available with a swivel seat and the height can be adjusted with the lifting device. The veneered plywood shell can be in bleached oak, wengé stained, or covered with monochromatic or bicolour laminate.

Vissy Credenza The Vissy Credenza is finished in high gloss polyurethane. It has changeable sliding doors (timber or fabric covered), enabling adaptability to changing seasons and environments. Drawing upon the antiquated furniture making technique of marquetry, Vissy's timber sliding doors is a reinterpretation of this into the contemporary format of a geometric circular pattern. The circles come alive as one moves around the room. The fruit bowl morphing into the surface is a logical progression of enhancing the shininess, typifying the forms seen in ceramics, and creating an interesting dialogue between the surfaces.

Meant to infuse comfortably into natural surroundings, each bench is handmade and hand-bent into its shape. It is interestingly shaped and compact enough that it looks like it should easily adapt itself to several types of interior and exterior design themes --- from garden spaces, to clean contemporary gallery or loft spaces, to a warm and lightly coloured corridor or foyer.

WoodSure WoodSure is natural wood that has been infused with acrylic resin, which enhances both the beauty of the wood and its durability. The acrylic-infused process converts wood into a dimensionally stable material that repels water, resists dents and abrasions, and is much harder than untreated wood. This process allows abundant softwoods to be used in the place of scarcer hardwoods. WoodSure’s proprietary acrylic-infused process also intensifies the wood-grain pattern, amplifying the drama of wood’s natural internal structure. Contact: WoodSure 2475 Progress WayP.O.
