When grape variety names inspire solid wood furniture

Quand les noms de cépages inspirent les meubles en bois massif

We also thought about the bond that can unite people around the dining table and the work that goes into making wine. In Quebec, we often work wine in a very manual way, just like the work of our cabinetmakers, and we love getting together with family and friends to enjoy good wines and fabulous meals. It is in this sense that the choice of grape variety names naturally met with unanimity.

 

 

 

 

 

The use of grape varieties to designate furniture is not a coincidence, but a result of careful intention. Solid wood, like wine, is the fruit of the earth. We have recognized this similarity and chosen to honor the winemaking tradition by naming our creations after indigenous grape varieties. In doing so, we have woven a subtle link between the art of the table and the art of furniture.

 

 

 

 

When we gather our loved ones around a well-laid table, it is much more than just a meal. It is a moment of sharing, joy and conviviality. The furniture in the La Fabrique Allwood collection embraces this spirit by bearing names that evoke not only the characteristics of the grape variety, but also the warm atmosphere of a good meal shared around a bottle of wine. Each piece of furniture thus becomes an essential decorative element to create a space where bonds are strengthened and memories are forged.

 

 

 

 

Each piece tells a story, that of the wood that takes shape in the hands of artisans, of the land that offers the wood and the grape varieties and of the table that brings people together. This collection reminds us that art and creativity can be born from the union of seemingly different traditions, to give birth to something truly exceptional.
