Pay attention to the drawers carving.

They are inspired by Italian romanesque style the 11th century AD.

Few info about me:

Roberto Conti is an Italian designer graphic artist and woodcarver based in London. He has been working in visual communication and design since 2004. Roberto Conti?s artistic home is Pisa (Tuscany, Italy), a city that was deeply influential on the Romanesque current in the Middle Ages.


Conti?s ideas are based on rediscovering visual aesthetics from the past.

His mission is to make quality artworks and furnitures, in a way that incorporates the heritage of past civilisations.

His work is based on meticulous research and documented sources, exploring the links between art, history and archaeology to promote the distribution of knowledge, critical thinking and the creation of unique, authentic artworks.


He strongly believes in the return of a new artistic and social Renaissance.

We should remember that ?Historia est Magistra Vitae?, a Latin expression, taken from Cicero?s De Oratore, which suggests that ?history is life?s teacher?. The phrase conveys the idea that the study of the past should serve as a lesson to the future, and was an important pillar of classical, medieval and Renaissance historiography.


The Artworks

These furnitures have been designed and built using almost entirely reclaimed wood, therefore they have imperfections and irregularities but they are 100% authentic and based on historical researches. They are totally hand carved using high quality chisels.


As in the early medieval art, these artworks contain different ingredients blended together.

    • I've found it quite a useful thread.  Apparently protein powders are toxic. Not that I have ever, or will ever, try them.   https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/the-hidden-dangers-of-protein-powders
    • Personally can’t stand carpets however where I am renting has carpet in  bedroom and hall. Not great quality and certainly not cleaned. Was  in B & M recently and looking at carpet shampoo -wow got a can costing £2.99 to test.. No scrubbing as others seemed to imply. Spray, leave and poof - smells great, no dabbing or scrubbing and c leaving rubbish. First to admit is only temp solution but no need to hire carpet cleaner instantly  or pay for a company to come and deal with professionally. For 3/6 months happy to have used this - Have a carpet cleaner and in a month or so plan to use it.    Buy a steam cleaner for floors - not expensive - much better than mop and bucket and more hygienic all round. Can pick up second hand ones on e bay.
    • Is this a true story? What protein powder causes kidney damage? Why didn't you cite an article? I shop at H&B, mostly to buy their castor oil, however, I would recommend researching any product beforehand. They do have very informative articles on their website. To be honest, I don't see the point of this post. You could have just taken the product back for a refund or complained in store and in writing.
    • Well the Italian on Lordship Lane  recommended here was delicious.  Thank you so very much -my party were extremely pleased with ambience, location and lovely food plus puddings to die for. They are also on Deliveroo.  Will certainly be back when I am back in 6 weeks time. Went past Love Dulwich at lunchtime on my way to Italian - only a party of 2 - food might be excellent but decided to give it a miss - wasn’t impressed with manager who admitted he had only been there 2 weeks. Might be being totally unfair but doubt it, as no comments since about a month ago from Pugwash.
