RAPOLANO Dining Table

marcoresenterra — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 15:42:44 +0000

Around three million years ago, during the Pliocene epoch, the Chianti hills overlooked an ancient sea that stretched southeast, shaping the land we know today. That body of water acted as a vast sedimentary basin, slowly depositing fragments of rock, sand, and clay – layer upon layer – in rhythms dictated by the tides.
As the sea gradually withdrew, it left behind a stratified memory of its presence: clays, sandstones, and conglomerates, all bearing the marks of shifting lagoons, coastal shores, and shallow marine beds. Over time, wind and water sculpted these deposits, etching the surface of the earth into what now resembles a petrified, storm-swept sea.
The town of Rapolano, nestled in the Sienese hills, became known for its thermal springs since Roman times, and for the distinctive Travertine formed by millennia of geological alchemy.
In collaboration with Vaselli, alcarol has recovered fragments of this ancient stone — marked by erosion and sediment — and preserved their natural cavities in a crystal-clear resin that evokes the waters in which they once lay submerged.
The Rapolano Dining Table is more than a surface — it is a sculpted fragment of geological time and territory. A seamless union of raw history and contemporary design, where nature’s slow craftsmanship becomes eternal, as a timeless landscape, both ancient and new.

Yet the piece is wholly terrestrial: two mirrored Burled Poplar planks with live edges, encased and joined like fragments of floating terrain. They never touch, suspended in balance, upheld by four clear pillars that lift them in a seeming levity.
The Burled Poplar bears a grain of swirling knots and eyes — natural complexity in deformation. Enhanced by a verdigris-infused oil finish, its inherent holographic depth is magnified, tinting the wood with subtle green radiance. Under shifting light, the surface glimmers with an otherworldly glow, transforming the material into something almost unrecognizable — neither fully wood nor alien, but something in between.
Uranus Table is not a creation taken from space, but a terrestrial object inspired by a planet. It invites us to look deeper into our own world — to perceive the extraordinary hidden within the ordinary, to feel the mysterious green echo of Uranus in grain, light, and matter.

WETLAND STREAMS Table

marcoresenterra — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 15:42:44 +0000

A wetland is a water-saturated ecosystem where, in rare natural conditions, wood can be preserved for millennia. Abonos—a Celtic name for this semi-fossilized wetland timber—comes from ancient trunks buried in alpine alluvial areas. Protected beneath layers of sand and gravel, the trees underwent a slow transformation: minerals, iron and tannins bonded over time, hardening the wood and colouring its grain through a unique chromatic spectrum, from golden nuances to deep black.
Once brought back to the surface, this wood emerges like a jewel of the past, recovered and crafted through delicate and meticulous processes. In the Wetland Streams Table, alcarol surrounds its organic forms with transparent resin, recalling the water that shaped it through the ages. Here, two clear rivers flow through the surface, a poetic echo of the streams that once carried the trunks along their ancient journey.
The resin preserves and reveals every detail of the wood, while the exposed section planes remain free to the touch, allowing you to feel the warm, vibrant essence of a material that has travelled across eras. The result is a piece where time continues to flow, and nature’s memory becomes part of everyday life.

CHIMENTI Frosted Table

marcoresenterra — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 15:42:32 +0000

The Chimenti Frosted Table is crafted from three planks of Venetian Briccole oak, preserving their natural live edges — sculpted by salt water, shaped by time, and gently eroded by lagoon molluscs.
In Venetian seafaring language, chimenti are the gaps between the planks of a ship’s hull, once sealed by master caulkers with oakum and colofonia — a transparent natural resin. Echoing this ancient gesture, alcarol fills only the voids of the wood with a clear resin that embodies the water once surrounding it, capturing the underwater air bubbles and restoring the timber’s original vitality.
This process transforms the material into a poetic cross-section of the Venetian Lagoon — a still image of the underwater world, where time appears to stop and the essence of Venice becomes visible.
The Chimenti Frosted Table is not just a piece of furniture: it is a fragment of submerged Venice, crystallized in its final layer of transparent stillness — a bridge between craft, nature, and memory.

POPLAR RIVER Table

marcoresenterra — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 15:42:32 +0000

The Poplar River Table is crafted from two planks of rare Burled Poplar, each with natural live edges that evoke the banks of a flowing river.
This unique wood, marked by swirling grains, knotting eyes and unpredictable patterns, is entirely shaped by nature — wild, intricate and unrepeatable.
No human could design such movement; it belongs only to the slow, organic choreography of time within the tree.
Together, the two mirrored planks create a fluid landscape, where form follows chance and beauty emerges from imperfection.

RAPOLANO Table

marcoresenterra — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 15:42:32 +0000

Three million years ago, during the Pliocene epoch, a vast arm of the sea stretched across what are now the hills of Chianti. This ancient marine basin gathered sediments carried by rivers — fragments of rock, clay, and sand — depositing them in slow, layered rhythms. As the sea receded and returned with time, it shaped a complex landscape of lagoon, beach, and shallow depth.
Through eons of water and wind, this land was carved into a petrified storm, a terrain where time took geological form. From this memory of earth and sea emerged Rapolano, a Tuscan town known since Roman times for its thermal springs and the distinctive travertine stone born from mineral-rich waters.
In collaboration with Vaselli, alcarol has recovered fragments of this ancient stone, their cavities carved by erosion, and filled them with a clear resin evoking the still waters where they once lay submerged. Layers of matter and memory suspended in transparency.
The Rapolano Table is more than an object: it is a suspended landscape. A solid fragment of the Earth, sculpted by millennia, now hovers above ground, held aloft by two slender metal pillars, silent presences that do not merely support, but elevate time itself. The table becomes a metaphysical structure: where nature’s deepest past rises to meet the clarity of form, made eternal through design.

CHIMENTI RIVER Table

marcoresenterra — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 15:42:32 +0000

The Chimenti Table is born from planks of Venetian Bricole oak — ancient poles that have stood for decades in the Lagoon, their edges shaped by tides, carved by salt, and marked by the slow work of time and marine life.
In the traditional language of Venetian shipwrights, chimenti are the narrow gaps between the hull planks of a vessel, once sealed by skilled caulkers with oakum and colofonia — a clear natural resin.
Reinterpreting this ancient craft, alcarol fills only the empty spaces within the wood with a transparent resin that embodies the water it once lived in, preserving the traces of air and light suspended beneath the surface.
Through this process, the table becomes a tangible section of the Venetian Lagoon — a vision of the underwater landscape made still, where motion turns to clarity and time seems to rest.
The Chimenti Table is more than a functional object: it is a fragment of Venice itself, sculpted by water and history, now rendered eternal in its final, translucent layer — a dialogue between material, memory, and light.

MOSS STREAMS Table

marcoresenterra — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 15:42:32 +0000

Recovered from the Dolomite undergrowth and encased in a translucent layer recalling still forest waters, the live edges and textured surface evoke something beyond wood. Perhaps a coral reef, a satellite view of an unknown land, or the depths of the mind itself.
It’s not only a desk, but a place of reflection, where work begins in wonder.

Phellem Dining Table

marcoresenterra — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 15:42:05 +0000

Phellem is the outermost layer of tree bark, a living skin that protects, adapts and records the identity of each species. This collection celebrates its extraordinary biodiversity, unveiling a spectrum of colours and textures that would otherwise remain hidden.
When bark is wounded, the tree releases a complex liquid that hardens into a natural resin, sealing the surface and defending the vital layers beneath. In the same spirit, alcarol preserves each bark with a bio-based transparent resin, echoing this ancient self-defence and freezing every botanical detail as it appears in its natural habitat.
The Phellem Dining Table becomes a contemporary inlay of different species, an encrypted pattern — a secret code of forest biodiversity. Each fragment of bark, with its unique textures and tones, speaks of habitat, evolution and time, just as ancient wood inlay once sought variety to expand expressive power. Here, the organic mosaic becomes a map of ecosystems, not decoration.
Below, the metal legs cross and diverge like enduring roots, grounding and supporting the structure as if upholding a living canopy. Root and crown, earth and gesture: the table stands as a small forest in equilibrium, where bark, resin, wood and steel coexist in a single, shared breath.
It is more than a dining table — it is a fragment of biodiversity entrusted to the present, a place of encounter that carries and preserves the silent memory of the woods.

BRICOLA BENT Desk

marcoresenterra — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 15:42:05 +0000

The Bricola Bent Desk is composed of two planks of Venetian Briccola oak, each edge sculpted by salt, tides, and decades submerged in lagoon currents. These timbers — once part of Venice’s underwater architecture — bear the traces of molluscs and waterborne time.
Flanking the wood, transparent resin borders trace rivers of glass — echoes of the water that once embraced the planks, now transformed into guardians of the wood’s form. These resin edges seal and protect the fragile boundaries shaped by nature, ensuring the preservation of a moment in flux made eternal.
In the corners, the woodgrain aligns seamlessly, as though the desk were carved from a single bent piece. Through a refined process, the resin too appears as one continuous, unbroken layer—no visible seams between horizontal and vertical planes, honoring the unity of the form.
Below, a metaphysical steel slab supports the composition — an austere element that lifts the desk, giving it a subtle suspension in space. Together, the materials speak of convergence: wood shaped by water and time, resin that cements translucence, and steel that holds the ephemeral steady.
The Bricola Bent Desk is at once functional and poetical: the memory of Venice flows within its edges, captured in resin and sustained by steel. It is a singular moment, crystallized.

CREEK Table _ Chestnut

marcoresenterra — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 15:42:05 +0000

Chestnut Creek Table is crafted from aged chestnut logs recovered from the undergrowth of the Italian Dolomites. The bark’s rugged surface and natural edges are preserved within a translucent layer that evokes the still waters once nourishing the tree’s roots.
Following alcarol’s environmental cross-section philosophy, the piece transforms the tree’s final state into a new beginning. The jagged edges of the wooden sections mirror each other like riverbanks, separated by a winding stream of light — a silent recall of mountain creeks and alpine terrain.
A sculptural table where memory, landscape, and material converge.

WETLAND RIVER Table

marcoresenterra — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 15:42:05 +0000

A wetland is an ecosystem shaped and saturated by water, where in rare conditions nature can preserve wood for millennia. Abonos—a Celtic name for this semi-fossilized wetland timber—comes from ancient Alpine trunks buried in river sediments, where minerals and water gradually bonded with the tannins of the wood, hardening it and colouring its grain across a spectrum that shifts from golden hues to deep black. No two pieces ever share the same shades.
Recovered through careful and complex work, this ancestral wood emerges like a treasure of the past, bearing the silent memory of flowing waters and vanished landscapes. In the Wetland River Table, a central “river” becomes the symbolic flow of time itself: it runs between the organic edges of the wood as if carrying the stories, motions, sediments and seasons that shaped it.
Just as the currents once transformed the material, the table celebrates this eternal movement—a flow that connects past and present. The natural wood surface remains exposed on the section planes, allowing you to touch its warm, ancient vibrancy, while the transparent central river reveals rather than hides, preserving the essence of what water once embraced.
The result is a table that is not only a functional object, but a river of memories crystallized in form, where nature’s time continues to flow.

FUNGI Table _ Limited Edition

marcoresenterra — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 15:41:53 +0000

Alcarol has crafted this table from a single large Beech plank, recovered from a fallen log in the Dolomite forest, naturally colonized by fungi. The organic patterns—formed through slow wood decay—are entirely unique, shaped by specific time, place, and environmental conditions.
The plank was sliced with a fine blade into two matching parts and rejoined using a seamless corner process that aligns both the fungal grain and the translucent material with sculptural precision. The resin, resembling winter ice, flows as a continuous element, with no visible joints between horizontal and vertical planes.
This technique freezes the organic transformation at its peak, preserving the live edges and fungal textures in clear stillness—transforming their impermanence into lasting presence. The result is a piece that can become a table, bench, console, or custom surface, where the silent work of nature finds a new life in form and function.

The MarbleWays – Stone Legs Edition captures the atmosphere of Italian marble workshops by freezing time at the end of a material’s working life and transforming it into a new beginning.
The top is made from four boards once used as work surfaces in marble-cutting labs, continuously scored by massive circular blades. Over time, water from the cutting process carried fine marble dust into each groove, leaving behind a distinctive pattern of traces — the silent map of countless gestures, cuts and movements.
Just as water once flowed across the surface, a transparent layer now encapsulates the marble residues and levels the irregularities, preserving the memory of labour while creating a durable, functional plane.
In harmony with this story, the stone legs echo the very slabs that were once cut on this surface: the same stone appears twice — solid beneath, powdered within — uniting structure and trace, origin and transformation.
This table becomes a landscape of material memory: a bridge between what was worked, what remains, and what endures.
