    Solid wood construction

    L'Ottocento uses only solid wood or blockboard in its production. The company explains that, unlike chipboard, the wood keeps its strength over the years, is lighter on hinges and joints, and returns to its original state after absorbing water.

    Total Home

    Beyond the kitchen, L'Ottocento makes tailor-made wooden furnishings for every room, from the living room to the bedroom, bathroom and passageways, so that a whole home can share one style and level of craft.
