Walnut is a noble wood that brings timeless elegance to any space. Its durability and longevity, combined with the natural beauty of its grain, make it an ideal choice for those seeking refined and long-lasting furniture. The walnut used by Riva1920 is sourced from American forests, where strict federal regulations ensure sustainable management by requiring multiple trees to be planted for every one harvested.
Flexible, resilient, and visually striking, oak is one of the most revered woods in the world of design. Its versatility makes it ideal for furniture that stands the test of time while preserving the beauty of its natural grain. The oak logs selected by Riva1920 originate from Eastern European forests, where sustainable forestry practices maintain a careful balance between growth and harvesting, preventing deforestation.
Cherry wood, with its warm reddish hues, is a symbol of sophistication and elegance. Its rich tones make it perfect for creating inviting and refined interiors, adding character and depth to any space. The cherry wood used by Riva1920 is sourced from the Appalachian Mountains in the United States, where, as with walnut, strict reforestation practices ensure that new trees are planted for every one cut down, promoting responsible forest management.
Teak is the ideal wood for those seeking both strength and aesthetics. Highly resistant to weather and humidity, it is particularly suited for outdoor furniture. The teak used by Riva1920 comes from sustainably managed forests in Costa Rica, where replanting and harvesting are carefully regulated to maintain the natural ecological cycle.
