Furniture from a natural tree from Riva 1920
Italian furniture company Riva 1920Has been around for almost a hundred years. It is distinguished by a careful attitude to the environment, the storage of traditions of furniture art and the use of natural materials. The founders of the company, the brothers Riva, even when in the fashion was plastic, gloss and gloss, did classical furniture from natural wood, processed only with wax and oil. They believe that the tree continues to live and breathe even in furniture, so chemical dyes and glue with formaldehyde are never used in production. The range of the company presents any furniture from natural wood - beds, cabinets, chairs, armchairs and tables and walls. But the visiting card was the use of almost untreated wood, with traces of livelihoods of bugs, with cracks and natural texture. So, in 2010, Riva offered thirtyDesigner cooperation, namely, to create a series of furniture from old wood brikkole - oak piles from Venice, which served as mooring gondolas. A tree darkened by time, water and insects, itself looks like a work of art and serves as an inexhaustible source of inspiration. History continues to live in wood, after all, according to the company's philosophy, wood from piles is processed only by natural materials, without the use of paint and chemistry.

Thus, old wood acquires a second life, and in the world of elite beautiful furniture, new masterpieces appear.
