The Round Chimenti Table is a circular evolution of the first Chimenti design, crafted from reclaimed planks of Venetian Briccola oak. Each edge preserves the natural traces of salt, water, and time — sculpted by the lagoon’s molluscs and by the slow erosion of the tides.
In the traditional language of Venetian shipwrights, chimenti are the gaps between the planks of a vessel’s hull, once sealed by master caulkers with oakum and colofonia, a transparent natural resin. Echoing this ancient craft, alcarol revives the material by filling its voids with transparency and light, capturing the air and breath once hidden beneath the waters.
Through this process, the table becomes a circular cross-section of the lagoon — a fragment of Venice brought once more below the water’s surface, where time stands still and memory takes form. The Round Chimenti Table invites touch, sight, and scent to transcend ordinary perception — offering a glimpse of submerged Venice made eternal.
