Choosing to furnish your home with wood means wanting an environment that expresses warmth and hospitality.
The first reason is that the variety of bespoke models, finishes and polishes that are possible with wood, are not allowed with other materials.
Woodworking requires imagination and creativity, be it in any environment, from the kitchen to the bedroom or outdoors.
The advantage of this material is the durability and versatility of its processing.
The wooden furnishings have that timeless look that is outside the fashions of the moment. This is why a house furnished with wood is always modern and current, even over the years.
The wood, protected from deterioration, does not age.
With proper maintenance, the value of the structure remains unchanged over time.
Why choose wood if you are looking for a custom house
Wood is the best choice to create custom furniture and furnishings.
Often customers want a project or a piece of furniture made just for them, even a unique piece, an exclusive model that is not made in series as happens in large distribution.
Choosing wooden furniture means giving a touch of prestige to the house, preferring a noble material with the guarantee that your furniture will never be the same as anyone else.
The advantage of choosing a custom-made furniture made of wood is that it is a material that allows you to design your furniture with a lot of freedom: you can choose how to improve the use of space with pieces made to measure, enhance the areas of the house, By promoting lighting with natural and artificial light.
Wooden kitchens: because they are better for Plinio il Giovane than the others
The most attentive home stylists of today know that wood is the most versatile material to create a cozy and functional home environment.
A kitchen made of wood can be customized in shape and color through the multiple finishes, so that they best suit an area of the house always frequented that must be functional and practical.
Many now choose to create a living room combined with a kitchenette and wooden kitchens are both elegant and functional.
Plinio has carried out several bespoke kitchen projects. From our experience of over 45 years of woodworking, we believe that minimal style is particularly suitable.
The clean and light line that we adopt for our furniture is particularly suitable for the living area. A linear kitchen in fact is well suited to be practical and functional, easy to clean. The practicality of the furniture is fundamental when you have to think about an environment that you will have to live every day.
Wood is also recommended for those who prefer a rustic place. Because of its nature, it recalls past times, when the kitchen was the fulcrum of the house, where the convivial moments of the family were prepared. In this case the lines will resume the style of the farmhouses of the past, with a material treated with modern techniques.
Wood is a sustainable and safe material for health
Wood is not only a natural material, it is also environmentally sustainable.
It’s a natural material, which is produced by nature without harming the environment by producing an artificial material.
Wood is also a recyclable material, which never dies, but can be reused and even once abandoned and therefore does not pollute the environment.
The wood is renewed naturally and is 100% recyclable. In case of disposal it thermally returns the energy accumulated in the growth of the plant.
The choice of wooden furniture also protects health, because they do not contain chemicals and formaldehyde, as is the case for furniture such as chipboard.
Furnishing the house with wooden furniture allows better energy efficiency.
Wood is a natural material that does not interact with the body and removes the risks of rheumatic and respiratory diseases.
The wood is hypoallergenic and thanks to its physical characteristics acts as a screen to electromagnetic fields and electric currents. Being a “living” material, it filters and purifies the air inside the house.
Why are Plinio il Giovane’s furniture in oak?
Already in the Middle Ages wood was widely used for the construction of furniture for its ease of being found and processed, until over the centuries it was not considered a valuable material for the creation of true works of art of furniture that contributed to the prestige of the family.
Wood is the hard part of the trunk that supports the crown and ensures the passage of lymph to the various vital organs of the plant. The oak wood we use for our furniture belongs to the oak family, symbol of strength for its characteristics of hardness, strength and preservation. Of straight fiber and fine grain, oak has always been chosen among the noble woods to build prestigious furniture, by virtue of its durability and its resistance to atmospheric agents.
Wood is a living material and therefore affected by changes in humidity and temperature, its small irregularities are not to be considered defects, but evidence of a continuous vitality.
