Riva 1920 at Köln 2016

The Fair in Cologne IMM COLOGNE has always been an essential opportunity for Riva1920 and on the 2016 occasion, the company relies on new finishes, which reflect the taste of a customer always more demanding and attentive to the new trends. The novelties are about wood that becomes of different colours depending on the essence or on the finish. Cedarwood and oak are presented in different hues and new finishes, exalting the wood that becomes an interpreter of a traditional, retro or hyper modern mood. These techniques are the result of many researches leaded by the Research and Development Centre of Riva 1920 that dedicates itself to innovation and experimentation of new processes and materials, without distorting this incredible material, the wood. The challenge lies in the research of new effects, coming from compositions and artisan processes, which combines substances as natural as possible and organic substances respecting the company’s philosophy. Besides the “classics” walnut, oak, briccola, cedar and kauri, a series of new finishes for cedar and oak will be presented in preview. CEDAR The cedarwood from Lebanon, originating from the Mediterranean region, belongs to the family of the Pinacea. From the end of the 8th century it has been introduced and cultivated in parks and gardens of Europe and northern Italy. Riva 1920 uses the logs of cedarwood fallen due to natural catastrophes (landslides, storms, etc) or cut down because of programmed cuts for security reasons (obstruction of traffic, proximity of homes, etc). The resulting wood is massive and resistant and is characterized by a strong balsamic and aromatized scent, its working is possible thanks to the most advanced technologies. OAK Riva 1920 gives great attention to the selection of the raw materials; prestigious high quality woods are the basis of the production process. The oak comes mainly from controlled reforestation areas, a daily commitment towards nature and the environment around us, precious and invaluable heritage that we want to preserve and safeguard. 1. Volcano finish for cedar is characterized by a black colour, resulting from an artisan process of carbonization which includes the superficial area of the wood, which becomes anthracite black. Touching it, the surface is rough and milled, the finish is obtained through natural scented oils. This process is called Shou Sugi Ban and is inspired by ancient Japanese techniques, which uses the carbonization of the cedar wooden structures of the house as a natural remedy against moths, mold and fires. 2. Sanded finish for cedar and oak is used to exalt and make the wood grain more evident. Touching it, the surface is rough with white stripes, which creates a 3d-like-texture effect. 3. Outdoor finish for cedar is a natural process that allows the cedar wood to have a refined dove grey colour, simply by putting the cedar pieces outdoor. Thanks to the sunlight and the bad weather and as the time passes, 6 month/1 year, the colour will transform from a warm yellow into a cold grey. 4. Contract finish for cedar is used to improve the wood features, through a specific process, which guarantees more protection and resistance against marks, stains and also liquid. 5. Pigmented finish for oak the pigmentation in black is applied on oak wood, which has been previously brushed by hand. This process enables the colour to be naturally absorbed into the veining; the colour is applied by hand to create a homogenous effect on the top. When it’s dry, there is the last finish with natural oils.
