In Vignola, the heart of Emilia Romagna, Mr.Vittorio deals with his small company of old and antique doors and gates, following the logic of reusing objects destined for a purpose other than that for which they were born, certainly more imaginative and fun.
He is about to end up run over, his mother saves him
In the full revolution that distinguishes the renovation of a house, have you ever thought about fetch some stuff? It is well known, the feeling of renewing, refreshing, throwing away a bit of old stuff and, above all, putting away that chest of drawers in the cellar that your mother-in-law gave you with so much love, well… it can bring immense pleasure. But, now more than ever, even keeping something and holding on to a few extra coins can be handy. So, these few lines are addressed to those who love the antique and rustic environments in particular, but also to those who simply have a wears a bit antiquated and does not know what to do with it.
There, among the Modena hills that taste of Lambrusco and balsamic vinegar, tortellini and cured meats, not only does your stomach open and you willingly give space to one of the seven deadly sins (there is time to redeem yourself ...), but you will also find who knows how to propose truly unique and sustainable solutions for a restoration of your furniture.
We are Vignola, the heart of Emilia Romagna, where Mr. Vittorio deals with his small company (www.portantica.com) of old and antique doors and gates, following the logic of reuse of objects destined for a different purpose than the one for which they were born, certainly more imaginative and fun.
Thus, between restoration, recovery, purchase and sale, Mr. Vittorio proposes the “Recycling” of an old or ancient door not only to close a passage between rooms, but also to create, without even using a piece of furniture, one small pantry on the wall in the kitchen. In this way, people need to save old battered or worm-eaten doors and make one new and original piece of furniture.
And there is also talk of doors, cabinet doors, stipi murali, in short, an infinite number of things that can be readapted, repainted, colored, lacquered. This is the case of the door of an old door that comes back to new life as door to a rustic kitchen, or, if placed horizontally, resurrected in the guise of headboard of the bed or of an floor for television.
Finally, if it is the restoration techniques that still leave you perplexed (which, moreover, can be learned thanks to restoration courses Conservative Classic and Stylistics offered by the same company), not to fear: Mr. Vittorio guarantees theI use only natural products, that is, not obtained by chemical synthesis. Have a good trip to Emilia then!
