Designed by Italian architect \u003cstrong\u003eGiovanni Michelucci in the 1970s, this brutalist bench is constructed entirely from thick, premium solid walnut\u003c\/strong\u003e. Renowned for his architectural joinery and honest expression of materials (most famous for his work with Poltronova), Michelucci created a piece defined by strong geometric lines, thick slab proportion, and splayed trestle legs connected by a robust central stretcher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bench features a branded, original signature stamp, G. Michelucci hot-stamped directly into the front right edge of the solid wood top, providing indisputable provenance and collector authenticity. Versatile in function, this piece serves beautifully as a low coffee table, a statement entryway bench, or seating at the foot of a bed in a modern or mid-century interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArriving in excellent vintage condition, the piece has been professionally cleaned, sanitized, and nourished with natural beeswax. The solid walnut exhibits a rich, warm grain pattern and deep natural patina, with only light, age-appropriate signs of use that enhance its authentic vintage character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to clean and maintain solid walnut surfaces?\u003c\/strong\u003e Gently dust the wooden top and legs using a dry, soft microfiber cloth along the direction of the wood grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNourishment \u0026amp; Protection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Apply a high-grade natural beeswax or organic wood balm once or twice a year using a soft cloth. Allow it to absorb for 20 minutes, then buff lightly to maintain the rich depth and moisture of the walnut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat to Avoid:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep the bench away from direct heat sources like radiators and long exposures to harsh sunlight to prevent wood movement or drying. Never use water-drenched rags, silicone-based polishes, or harsh chemical detergents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eW.180 \/ D.40 \/ H.40 (cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e--\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_dda3618c\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShipping (front door at ground floor) from \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"shp-dest__origin-country\"\u003eItaly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e warehouse to : \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"552\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 271.333px;\"\u003eITALY 85 €  \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 264.667px;\"\u003e1 week\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 271.333px;\"\u003eEUROPE 175 €\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 264.667px;\"\u003e1 - 3 weeks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 271.333px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWORLDWIDE\u003c\/p\u003e\n(USA, UK, Swiss, Norway, Sweden, China, Korea etc..)\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 264.667px;\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"Worldwide shipping quotation\" href=\"https:\/\/ilrestaurato.com\/pages\/contats\"\u003erequest a quote\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding-top: 15px; font-style: italic; font-size: 0.9em; line-height: 1.4;\" colspan=\"2\"\u003eOur shipments are always professionally packed using high-quality cardboard or custom-made, certified wooden crates and cages tailored to each specific item.
