« Àlbur (tree in the local dialect) aims to reconcile the poetry of the Ticinese chestnut and the savoir-faire of local craftsmanship. »

Àlbur is a project conceived and developed since 2016. It is a line of furniture products created to enhance the Ticinese chestnut wood and local labor while respecting the territory. In fact, to maximize the concept of sustainability, every element of the production chain is limited to Ticino soil, from the choice of the tree to the sale. The development of Àlbur (tree in the local dialect) aims to reconcile the poetry of the Ticinese chestnut and the savoir-faire of local craftsmanship on a modern and unconventional design.
