A wetland is an ecosystem that is saturated with water, which in some cases preserves materials such as wood for millennia. Abonos is a Celtic name which indicates the “fossil” wetland wood type of some rare alluvial areas of the Alps, where minerals and water have started the semi-fossilization process of the submerged trees. Currents bind the minerals and iron in the water with tannins in the wood, naturally hardening and colouring the wood in the process. This is clearly visible on the chromatics scale of the woodgrain – changing from golden to black – with always unique shades. This wood finally comes to light like a jewel of the past, through a careful, complex work of recovery and processing. Like the water over millennia, the alcarol’s transparent resin surrounds the organic shapes of this unique wood, preserving and enhancing all its preciousness and charm.

两位设计师创造的意大利家具品牌 Alcarol  是由Andrea Forti和 Eleonora 共同创办的，其工作室位于威尼斯泄湖和白云石山脉（世界文化遗产）之间。 

独特的地理环境与品牌风格相辅相成，Alcarol  通过透明的树脂来冻结自然物质（如朽断的木头、采石场的石头、威尼斯运河的船桩、山上的地衣）的生命周期，凝固时间赋予新生，制作出兼具功能性和独特设计感的家居产品。
