Artelegno Venezia empty knife block for 6 kitchen knives

Artelegno is an Italian manufacturer that has been in business for over half a century.

Two generations of Fazzini are at the helm, and the factory is located in the heart of nature, in a small mountain village in Lombardy.

Artelegno blocks are crafted by skilled artisans, with the aim of bringing life and beauty to the product(as opposed to an assembly-line process). Each block undergoes numerous shaping stages, and is regularly inspected to guarantee impeccable finishes.

Artelegno pays particular attention to the design of its kitchen blocks. Made in Italy design enjoys a strong reputation throughout the world, and Artelegno blocks are designed to be not only practical but also aesthetically captivating. Of course, this same design is at the service of ergonomics and ease of use.

Artelegno is particularly attentive to the protection of nature. This is why the materials chosen come from forests where environmental sustainability is a priority, and the factory complies with strict environmental standards to reduce its impact on the environment. For example, it benefits from underfloor heating divided into several sections, fed by a biomass boiler where production waste (wood or wood dust) is transformed into energy. This energy is in turn used to power the room where the wood is dried.

This block is available in two finishes: beech or walnut. Both types of wood have been carefully selected to guarantee a long-lasting block. It's up to you to choose which finish suits you best, in terms of color and visible wood grain. Each wood has been specially treated to resist stains. The block design adds character and a modern touch to your worktop. It keeps your knives within easy reach, both functionally and visually.

Magnetic, it's considered "universal", meaning you're not limited by slot size, width or length. In fact, you don't need to insert the knives into the wood: simply place them on the surface of the block and the magnet will do its job, locking the steel blades in place. In this way, the knives hold their position perfectly. This feature allows you to store all types of knives.

Finally, a water-based varnish totally suited to contact with food is applied to the surface of the wood, to ensure an impeccable finish.
