Italian brand Riva 1920 specializes in the production of classically-styled solid wood furniture. For 2019, the company has introduced a wooden outdoor furniture collection that changes color into dove-gray with time and varying environmental conditions. Made from cedar wood, these pieces are completely natural and hand-finished, without any further treatments. Any cracks and changes in conditions of wood are unique characteristics of the particular furniture unit.
These outdoor furniture pieces are really unique – most of them appear to the eye like large tree trunks carved into seating. Have a look at some of the most prominent-looking furniture designs from the new collection.
