 I Love Nature: A Long History of Tradition and Sustainability

Riva1920 will be exhibiting at the 61st edition of the Salone del Mobile in Milan, focusing once again on its love for nature, in balance between sustainability and tradition, craftsmanship and technology, history and experience. A balance that is also affirmed by the choice of a new location: the Riva1920 Building, a permanent exhibition area that makes it possible to reduce the use of construction materials and almost totally eliminate their disposal. Inside, collections covering all rooms in the home will be on display, all hallmark of comfort and sustainability.

The qualities of a noble and precious material such as wood combine with the creativity of designers and architects to sculpt products of innate beauty in full respect of nature, thus giving shape to a selection of new tables with a sculptural base, an elegant writing desk designed by Giovanna Azzarello, sideboards, storage units and furnishing accessories, the utmost expression of the soul of solid wood. The creativity of Riva1920 also includes the world of lighting with a proposal having almost architectural features, designed by architect Michele de Lucchi.

A new collection, a new character, a new variation of solid wood, whose magnificence is presented in refined yet gritty and elegant products. Entirely conceived by architect Claudio Bellini, the Sospiro Collection is integrated in the living area with table and storage unit and in the sleeping area with bed, chest of drawers and night tables. Very important is the celebration of synergies, attitudes, passions and visions apparently different and related to worlds far apart: furniture and high level pastry-making meet in common values to create a new project that celebrates the Italian craftsmanship vision: “Let’s make rooms for sweetness”; here is the Bigné stool, made of scented cedar of Lebanon, with upholstered seat, conceived by Iginio Massari and Samuele Montorfano.

Traditional woods change their outward appearance through processes that enhance craftsmanship and technological innovation: for example, with the Fresart finish the surfaces of the furniture acquire a new look thanks to an external processing of the solid wood that gives it additional impetus, movement and further value to the different types of wood.

In the Riva1920 Building, located in position E07 in the central Corso Italia EST near Hall 7, is possible to view the iconic products of a brand byword of innate beauty and value over time. A museum-like presentation of the best sellers products, made with reforestation and reused woods conceived by international designers, will tell an   history of tradition and sustainability: the Molletta bench designed by Baldessari and Baldessari, the Cambusa Wine and Rialto storage units designed by and Gabriele Cappelletti, the Sleek table designed by Karim Rashid and the Bedrock table designed by Terry Dwan, and many others.

Riva1920 products can be also viewed at the new Flagship Store in Via Uberto Visconti di Modrone 8 in Milan: it will be a valuable chance to see the collections up close in an exclusive location, where solid wood and its materiality will be the protagonists of spaces entirely dedicated to the Home Collection.
