Venice-Honoring Table Designs

The Leaf Table Venezia Uses Wood from the Venetian Lagoon

— February 16, 2022 — Art & Design
The Leaf Table Venezia table has been designed by Italian designer brand VGnewtrend as a furniture piece that pays homage to Venice by utilizing unexpected materials for a naturalistic design. The table is constructed with a tabletop achieved with two layers of glass that sandwich thin slices of briccole wood that has been sourced from retired oak poles. These poles have been utilized in the Venetian Lagoon for hundreds of years and help to pay homage to the city.

The Leaf Table Venezia table maintains the aesthete of a leaf on the upper section and is supported by a burnished brass base that further draws a comparison to the Italian city. The table is priced at €19,635 and available for purchase at Pamono.

Trend Themes
1. Naturalistic Design - The use of natural materials like wood and brass in furniture design can create unique and eco-friendly products that appeal to environmentally conscious consumers.
2. Local Sourcing - Local sourcing of retired oak poles for furniture construction can create a sustainable business model that supports traditional industries such as Venetian boat building in this case.
3. Heritage Design - Drawing inspiration from local culture and history, as seen in the Venetian-inspired Leaf Table Venezia, can create furniture pieces that reflect a sense of pride and connection to a particular place or community.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Manufacturing - By incorporating unique materials and designing heritage-inspired pieces, furniture manufacturers can create niche products that cater to consumers who value eco-friendliness, local sourcing, and historical connections.
2. Woodworking - Woodworkers can collaborate with manufacturers to source and repurpose retired materials like oak poles, creating a sustainable supply chain and supporting traditional industries while also creating unique wood products.
3. Eco-tourism - Creating furniture and decor that honors local culture and heritage can enhance the experience of visitors to a particular destination, and help them appreciate the natural beauty and traditional industries of the region.
