FINISHES

Made entirely in curved wood with American walnut finish.

MAINTENANCE OF WOOD

For ordinary maintenance purposes, use a soft and dry cloth to remove dust. For greasy-oily dirt (fingerprints), we suggest treating the surfaces using alcohol diluted in water, and immediately drying it with a soft cloth. It is best to avoid products containing acetone, chlorine and solvents, abrasive products, furniture wax and cloths with rigid fibres (linen and synthetic materials), which may ruin and/or scratch the surfaces. All these operations must be carried out with the utmost attention, and without applying excessive force. Exposure to direct sunlight may damage the colour of the wood.

W 27” - D 11 1/8” - H 54 5/8”

Itoh, born in 1933, studied at Waseda University, and he then spent several months in Molteni’s production department working with the Molteni experts. His designs lead him to win a prize at the Cantù “Terza Mostra Selettiva – Concorso internazionale del mobile”; the jury included Luigi Caccia Dominioni. His creations are a mix of the Japanese aesthics combined with the most prestigious Italian raw material.

"The Japanese and Italian cultures are similar in their love towards wood and its artefacts in all shapes and forms"
