Inspired by the architecture of Venetian churches, the collection 'An Alternative History' by French designers Oud is a testament to this universe and the savoir-faire that survived through the ages. Made from solid oak and linden, the magnificent Ai Frari console table has been lacquered to a brilliant bordeaux finish. Each successive layer of lacquer is meticulously applied, dried and polished by a skilled French artisan. In the 18th century, this precise and laborious technique was commonly employed by Venetian artisans, as the fruit of cultural exchanges between Europe and the far East.
