The excellence of cedar wood for unique scented furniture
Cedar wood, with its natural beauty and unique aromatic properties, has always been appreciated in the furniture world. Its versatility makes it suitable for any environment, from classic to contemporary, and its strength and durability ensure that cedar furniture can be passed down from generation to generation. But what are the real benefits of choosing cedar for your solid wood furniture? Let’s find out together.
The many benefits of cedar: beauty, fragrance and durability
Furniture made from cedar wood is not only beautiful, but also offers numerous benefits due to the inherent properties of this noble material:
Unparalleled strength and durability: cedar is naturally rich in essential oils that act as natural repellents against insects, mold and mildew, giving your furniture exceptional longevity. This inherent durability reduces the need for chemical treatments, preserving the natural beauty of the wood and contributing to a healthier home environment.- A unique sensory experience: cedar’s distinctive fragrant, woody aroma not only creates a cozy, relaxing atmosphere, but also has health-promoting properties. Its natural scent can help reduce stress, improve sleep quality and even naturally repel insects.
- Timeless Elegance: the warm color and unique grain of cedar give furniture a timeless appeal that fits any decorating style, from classic to contemporary. Its natural beauty never goes out of style, making cedar furniture a lasting investment that will enhance your home for years to come.
- Ideal for allergy sufferers: Cedar’s hypoallergenic properties make it an ideal choice for those with allergies or sensitivities. Unlike other materials that can collect dust and dust mites, cedar helps maintain a healthier and cleaner environment, reducing the risk of allergic reactions.
Cedar of Lebanon: millenary charm in your furniture
Riva 1920 uses only Cedar of Lebanon for its furniture, a precious species with a millennium of history and unique characteristics. This majestic tree, a symbol of Lebanon and even mentioned in the Bible, has been revered and appreciated since ancient times. The cedar of Lebanon we use grows between Lombardy and Piedmont, where it is cultivated with care and respect for the environment. This precious wood comes from trees that have been felled for safety reasons or with the permission of the local authorities, and instead of being used to make pulp, it finds a new life in our furniture, becoming unique pieces of design.
Unlike other cedars, Cedar of Lebanon grows slowly in often harsh climates, developing a wood of exceptional density and durability. This slow growth gives the wood strength and a natural resistance to weather, insects and the passage of time, making it ideal for outdoor furniture.
Its particularly intense and persistent balsamic scent comes from the natural oils in the resin and creates a unique and welcoming atmosphere in any room. This unmistakable fragrance, reminiscent of the strength and resilience of this legendary plant, provides a unique sensory experience and contributes to a healthy and relaxing environment.
Riva 1920’s commitment to quality and sustainability
Riva 1920 is committed to using only wood from sustainably managed forests, ensuring that the production of its furniture does not harm the environment and contributes to the conservation of this precious natural resource.
Choosing Lebanon Cedar furniture is like investing in a piece of history, a natural work of art that carries with it the echo of distant eras and the promise of timeless beauty.
