The Materials
Each material is always studied to the finest detail and maximally enhanced to bring out its natural beauty and true potential.
Alongside our dedicated artisanship lie the main protagonists of our story, the materials.
One of the strengths of Underwood Movement is not only the ability to offer a range of alternatives between natural and innovative materials, but also the ability to carry out further modification of said materials across an extensive myriad of processes to obtain one off customized creations.
Underwood Movement seeks out the finest materials, and draw on the best of old and new techniques to transmute them into extraordinary pieces of furniture. Artisans and craftsmen spend years fine-tuning their technique, which means they possess the knowledge and know when to push the boundaries. This gives designers the chance to experiment with styles they might not have previously been aware of, or felt comfortable with.
Underwood Movement wants to add an entirely new dimension to the idea of ‘bespoke’.

Wood
The main material for versatility of finishes and textures is wood. Spanning from the rarest and most precious to the most modern engineered woods, Underwood Movemen is equipped to suggest the best choice for any project, guaranteeing an incomparable aesthetic and functionality.
Repurposed Wood
Reclaimed wood is often well-seasoned and very sturdy, since it has already been used once before, it is a sustainable choice too. Repurposed wood possesses a unique beauty and history that creates charming, sustainable, long-lasting design items.
Liquid Metal
The possibilities of the new liquid metal finishes stimulates the creation of the most daring designs. This green technology enables to create textured surfaces in metal characterized by highly bespoke decorative effects.
Marble
Thanks to a world exclusive patented technology, slabs of marble of reduced weight and thickness (down to a mere 12 mm) can be made stronger and yet lightweight, capable of withstanding higher bending forces, without the danger of breakage typical of traditional slabs.
Reduced thickness combined with high strength makes it possible to develop unique and exclusive designs. Seamless combination of materials frees up the imagination to explore almost infinite possibilities, that wouldn’t have been possible in the past.
For each project we apply rigorous attention to context, processes and details. Let’s work together!
