Legnoart has involved artisans, designers, lumberjacks, chefs and winemakers who have shared their dreams of creating objects for cooking and wine tasting based on Italian traditions and wine and food culture. They have been able to create these collections today by bringing together two generations of participants in the little fishing village where Legnoart are based, on the shores of Lake Orta, Italy, since 1946.

They strive for excellence and for their products to be enjoyed and valued as family heirlooms for generations. The wood used is protected and finished exclusively using organic oils, or with a special thermal treatment which hardens it, making it more compact and protected from parasites. The wood is heated to a temperature between 180° and 230° degrees centigrade, thereby assuming a dark, yet totally natural colour, with a more stable structure free from parasites.
