 Background
:
First destined to an administrative career via economic and

 Philosophy
:
Wood: a warm, living material, which awakens the senses,

The use of wood has again become a sure value, combining
traditional techniques and the most modern applications
techniques, and it still surprises by its most accurate and
most remarkable applications.
