Hand-carved from ancient Tuscan olive wood, this spoon by Italian woodworker Andrea Brugi is a true one-of-a-kind piece. Each spoon embraces the natural texture and grain of the olive tree, making it uniquely beautiful and even more charming with age and use. Crafted entirely by hand in Montemerano, Tuscany, where Brugi and his Danish wife, Samina Langholz, have been creating timeless woodwork since 2009, this spoon is a reflection of their passion for craftsmanship and respect for nature.
Sourced from olive trees that are protected and only felled when no longer bearing fruit, the wood used in Brugi’s creations is both sustainable and steeped in history — some trees are over 1,000 years old. Renowned for its antibacterial properties and dense, striking grain, olive wood lends each spoon a unique pattern and remarkable durability. Its rich texture and dark brown hues tell the story of centuries-old trees transformed into functional, enduring works of art.
Perfect for everyday use or as a thoughtful gift, this hand-carved olive wood spoon embodies the timeless elegance of natural craftsmanship, designed to last for generations.

Andrea Brugi is an artist. The husband-and-wife team behind this woodworking operation has been working out of a workshop in Tuscany, which also happens to be the birthplace of the artist, woodworker and founder Andrea Brugi. The cutting boards are made of salvaged olive trees native to this particular part of the world and come in architectural shapes with unique, unfinished edges and occasional mixed-medium flourishes.
