The art of woodworking combines everyday functionality and natural beauty to create vessels designed to enrich any space. The organic grain of olive wood, ash and maple lends each piece a distinctive character, turning simple everyday items into decor elements that elevate both dining table and kitchen. Alongside collections dedicated to wooden kitchen and tableware, these accessories reflect the mastery of Val Gardena's craft tradition.
The variety of bowls and centrepieces meets both practical and decorative needs. Bowls crafted from solid sections of olive wood highlight unique knots and colour variations, making them ideal for snacks, bread or side dishes. Shaped designs, such as basket-style fruit bowls or star- and heart-shaped dishes, offer refined solutions for fresh fruit or as catchalls in the hallway. Those looking for matching table accessories can also explore other kitchen utensils made of olive wood to create a harmonious, natural look.
Wooden trays are the perfect choice for serving starters, cheeses and appetisers during dinners and gatherings. Oval or elongated shapes, easily paired with wooden chopping boards, ensure stability and ease of handling when serving food. For living room decor, leaf-shaped creations or carved designs enhance sideboards and shelves, complementing decorative wooden home accessories to bring warmth to living spaces.
Choosing the right piece depends on its intended use and your interior style. For direct food contact and table service, olive wood is an excellent choice thanks to its density and naturally strong grain. If the primary focus is decorative, ash or maple trays with carved silhouettes add a touch of lightness and contemporary elegance. Dimensions should be proportionate to the surface area: wide platters and deep fruit bowls suit spacious dining tables, while compact small bowls and nesting sets fit comfortably on shelves and coffee tables.
Simply wipe them with a damp cloth and allow them to air-dry immediately, avoiding dishwashers and prolonged soaking in water.
Yes, but it is advisable to avoid piping-hot dishes or excessively liquid foods to preserve the wood's natural finish over time.
Simply apply a few drops of food-grade vegetable oil with a soft cloth from time to time to nourish the fibres and revive the surface.
