The structure stands out for its expert use of solid wood, where the warm hue of chestnut blends with the textured texture of rough beech, revealing a richly historical patina.

The most distinctive feature is undoubtedly the long tabletop, which preserves the irregular, debarked edges of the original trunk, revealing knots, natural cracks, and ancient signs of wear, expertly stabilized by a protective glossy finish. The table rests on a solid trestle base with lyre-shaped legs, connected by a sturdy central crosspiece with a through-axis and secured at the ends by distinctive interlocking wooden wedges. Every construction detail, from the imperfections in the grain to the artisanal workmanship visible on the profiles, testifies to a craftsmanship from another era, conceived to defy the centuries and celebrate the authentic beauty of living wood.
