The Atelier

Effearredi

Groove is handcrafted in Italy in partnership with Effearredi, a specialist atelier with decades of experience in high-end furniture and object manufacturing.

Every piece passes through the same hands. The same standards. The same discipline.

Groove platforms in progress at the Effearredi atelier

01 – Cut & Shape

Form begins here

Each platform is cut from a MDF wood board with CNC precision.

Drawn from the form of a guitar pick, the silhouette is traced, then carved.

Nothing approximate. The shape is the object.

02 – Drawer Construction

Finished as one

The drawer goes through the same process as the platform, in the same finish. The two are then assembled by hand.

Closed, nothing interrupts the surface.

03 – Metal Work

Engineered aluminium

The legs, brand plate and drawer stopper are machined from anodized aluminium.

Designed with restraint. Built for stability. Made to last.

04 – Painting & Veneer

Material expression

Whether painted or veneered, every finish is applied by hand.

Different in appearance. Identical in intention.

05 – Lacquering

The final surface

The high-gloss lacquer is applied in multiple layers, with sanding between each application.

The result is a surface with depth, clarity and durability.

Beauty through endurance.

06 – Assembly

Everything in its place

The aluminium legs, brand plate and drawer stopper are assembled by hand.

Every detail is aligned before the object leaves the workshop.

Nothing left to chance. Ready to last.
