Bending and Bowing with Midollino Wood

Posted on March 28, 2013 by William Fogler

We’ve been curious about the origin of Midollino wood and it’s possible uses lately. This pliable wood product that can be used in a variety of ways, translates in Italian as “wicker” and is sold in just about every color. Though we mostly see it used in centerpiece designs, Midollino products included baskets and furniture as well. Check out some inspiration and our personal Midollino creations below.

Accent Decor offers a the product in a variety of colors and suggests inspirational designs on their website.

This beautiful outdoor chair from Italian designers Promemoria is called Topazia in Midollino. The wrapping of the midollino is stunning compared to the weave of traditional wicker furniture. On the right is a ceramic and wicker bread basket by Davide Abagnale, Giulia Chiametti that recalls the rustic and natural elements of the bread.
