Tanganyika wood, originating mainly from the Ivory Coast, was initially erroneously marketed as “Walnut” from Tanzania, hence the name “Tanganyika walnut”. In reality, not only the origin but also the species was wrong: it does not belong to the walnut family. It is a wood with reddish brown veins, a hard and precious wood, easy to work, used to make fine furniture.
OAK
Oak is a wood with good hardness, stability and durability, qualities that improve in particularly seasoned wood. Representing the right balance between performance and refinement, oak is a hard wood, with a yellowish-brown color that tends to lighten over time and is extremely resistant, both to atmospheric agents and humidity and to shocks.
NATIONAL WALNUT
Walnut is one of the finest woods in the world, particularly appreciated for its resistance and hardness, it is brown with a tendency to darken. The European walnut, called “National Walnut” is absolutely the most valuable, in particular the part of the root that is the “walnut root”.
FIR
Fir is an open-pored wood, ideal for giving a rustic touch to the room using a solid and durable material that is reliable and safe. Spruce wood has excellent insulating properties, resists seismic shocks well and is also a good acoustic insulator. Thanks to the rapid development of the plant, which allows rapid reforestation of the areas where it is cut, fir wood is also considered an ecological material.
REAL WOOD IS THE HEART OF THE ESSENZA LEGNO COLLECTION
