Vinyl adhesives and natural finishes: quality and environmental responsibility

Eco-friendly solutions for sustainable and safe design

At Riva1920, a deep respect for nature goes hand in hand with the commitment to creating authentic and safe furniture, ensuring both environmental sustainability and the well-being of those who use it. This dedication is reflected in the exclusive use of formaldehyde-free vinyl adhesives and natural finishes made from oils and waxes—essential elements for crafting high-quality, sustainable, and health-conscious design furniture.

 

Vinyl Adhesives: Strength and Safety

Riva1920’s choice of vinyl adhesives represents an innovative and responsible approach to furniture-making. Completely free from formaldehyde, these adhesives are non-toxic and environmentally friendly. They penetrate deep into the wood fibers, creating bonds that are exceptionally strong—often more resistant than the wood itself.

Beyond ensuring a safe and non-toxic working environment, the use of vinyl adhesives aligns with Riva1920’s sustainability philosophy, eliminating harmful chemicals while maintaining the highest standards of quality and durability in every piece of furniture.

Natural Finishes: Beauty, Protection, and Maintenance

Each Riva1920 creation is treated exclusively with natural finishes made from beeswax and pine-extract oils. These treatments not only enhance the wood’s natural beauty but also protect it in an organic way, preserving its breathability and warm, tactile quality.

Natural oils and waxes penetrate the wood fibers, nourishing them and preserving their appearance over time while forming a protective layer that enriches the material’s luminosity and texture. This careful finishing process ensures that each piece is not only environmentally responsible but also provides a uniquely sensory experience—offering surfaces that are pleasant to the touch and completely free from harmful substances.

Every Riva1920 product comes with a dedicated care set, including a maintenance kit tailored to the specific wood type and finish, along with clear instructions for routine care. This allows customers to easily maintain their furniture, preserving its beauty and functionality for years to come.

A Craftsmanship-Driven, Sustainable Approach

Each Riva1920 piece is the result of expert craftsmanship, where master carpenters blend traditional techniques with advanced technologies to transform wood into unique, enduring design furniture. The use of vinyl adhesives and natural finishes is not just a technical choice—it is a statement of sustainability and environmental responsibility.

With Riva1920, every piece of furniture embodies a love for nature and the excellence of Italian design, seamlessly combining tradition, innovation, and eco-conscious values.
