World record for Valdenassi
Valdenassi – based in Arma di Taggia and specialising in the supply of outdoor furniture for yachts for over twenty years – has inaugurated 2022 with a world record. Its owner, Emanuele Maria Valdenassi has constructed the largest teak grating in the world. This remarkable work of art and ingenuity is 460cm long, 180cm wide, 3.5cm thick and weighs 120kg. However, contrary to its customary use, this grating won’t be sailing on board some luxury vessel. Instead, it will be the tabletop in a home. Of course, we’re not talking about just any home, it’s for a royal palace, the address of which is top secret, as is the name of the person who lives there. The only hint we can reveal is that the mysterious client is an emir. “We felt particularly proud to receive this request, not just as a company but also as Italians”, says Emanuele Maria Valdenassi.
