Butcher's block with integrated structure, 1950s

Small solid wood butcher's block with an original integrated structure, featuring a top composed of dowels assembled along the grain, a technical solution designed to better absorb shock and ensure greater durability.

The essential, almost architectural structure is made of light wood with exposed details and a slatted lower shelf, while the upper block retains all the signs of workmanship and use: engravings, cuts, and marks that tell its story and amplify its material character.

The compact proportions and sculptural presence make it perfect even in a contemporary context as a side table, a pedestal, or a decorative element with a Brutalist and wabi-sabi flavor.

Original patina with natural signs of age and use consistent with its age.
