Custom wood furniture represents the excellence of Italian craftsmanship. Choosing the right wood species is essential to achieve lasting and aesthetically perfect results.
The Importance of Wood Selection
Each wood species possesses unique characteristics that influence the final appearance of personalised wood furnishings. GP Design selects only superior quality woods, often FSC-certified to ensure environmental sustainability.
Grain pattern, hardness, and workability are determining factors in the selection process. Custom wood furniturerequires careful planning that considers the specific properties of each species.
Oak: The King of Artisan Furniture
Characteristics of Oak
Oak is the most sought-after choice for handcrafted wood furniture due to its exceptional durability. Its pronounced grain and warm colour adapt to both classic and modern styles.
Custom joinery in oak develops a patina over time, acquiring character and personality. GP Design works with selected European oak to guarantee maximum quality.
Ideal Applications
Perfect for bookcases, tables, and wardrobes, oak allows for the creation of custom wood furniture that lasts for generations. Its versatility makes it suitable for every room in the home.
Walnut: Elegance and Refinement
Properties of Walnut
Italian walnut offers warm tones and elegant grain patterns for premium personalised wood furnishings. Its excellent workability allows for refined details and perfect finishes.
Handcrafted wood furniture in walnut stands out for its chromatic richness, ranging from light brown to chocolate. GP Design enhances each board to highlight its natural beauty.
Ideal Setting
Living rooms and bedrooms benefit from the warm atmosphere created by custom joinery in walnut. Pairing with Corian elements creates fascinating contrasts.
Cherry: Tradition and Modernity
American cherry is perfect for custom wood furniture that combines tradition and innovation. Its pinkish colour intensifies with light exposure, creating unique effects.
Ash: Versatility and Strength
Personalised wood furnishings in ash offer superior mechanical resistance. The straight, regular grain lends itself to modern finishes and innovative treatments.
Solid Wood vs Veneer
Solid Wood: Absolute Quality

Veneer: Perfect Balance
Veneering allows for custom joinery with the aesthetics of solid wood but greater dimensional stability.
