Art Brugi Hand-Carved Olivewood Mixed Spoons (Set of 3)

Andrea Brugi grew up in the Tuscan countryside among the olive groves, so when he started making his rustic designs alongside wife and co-founder Samina, olivewood seemed like the natural choice. The olivewood is sourced locally from trees between 400 and 1,000 years old, and are only felled when they no longer bear fruit. The results are entirely unique due to the individual markings of the bark. These spoons are presented in mixed sets hand-picked by Samina, and each one takes approximately 40 minutes to make.

Husband-and-wife duo Andrea Brugi and Samina Langholz, who started their passion project just under 20 years ago, believe the ‘secret sauce’ to their success is a combination of his Tuscan roots and her Danish upbringing. Working predominantly with olivewood – a material that always felt like home to Andrea – as well as vintage and reclaimed alternatives collected from old furniture and renovation projects, they craft one-of-a-kind serving boards and organically shaped kitchen utensils entirely by hand. They are firm advocates that no individual can determine what the results should look like – instead, it’s all down to the grain and shape of the wood in question, be it a centuries-old tree stump, a rafter rescued from a local church or a gnarled piece of reclaimed timber.
