Bricola Solid Oak WOOD, Extraclear Polished RESIN – Colorless or Aquamarine –
The Bent Console One Side is born from a single plank of Briccola oak, reclaimed from Venice’s lagoon. With a delicate cut, alcarol lets this plank rise vertically, bend into the horizontal, and then return to earth — mirroring the eternal cycle of water as it ascends, flows, and descends.
The live edges, sculpted by salt, time, and lagoon molluscs, are preserved in all their irregular beauty, while the voids are filled with a transparent resin that echoes the water that once embraced the wood. This resin preserves air bubbles, light, and memory, creating a seamless continuity between the vertical and horizontal planes — as though the console were one continuous, fluid sculpture.
In this way, the Bent Console becomes a frozen watercourse — a single, flowing form where wood becomes landscape, and the passage of time is held still. It is a fragment of submerged Venice, suspended between gravity and flow, turning natural forces into a serene, unbroken presence.
