The Wood Atelier: Selection and Personalization

Purchasing a solid kauri wood table is a journey into excellence and history. Riva1920 offers the opportunity to select the desired planks directly from its wood atelier. Here, exceptional kauri planks are available, with lengths up to 12 meters, widths up to 2.40 meters, and thicknesses up to 14 cm.

Every client can personalize their kauri table by choosing between a natural finish or one with resin to accentuate the wood's shapes and grain. The care taken in the selection and craftsmanship ensures the creation of exclusive designer tables that seamlessly fit into any environment with elegance and character.

Kauri: A Unique Wood with a Millennial History

Kauri wood originates from the subtropical forests of New Zealand, where these trees have existed for over 50,000 years. The planks used for Riva1920's kauri tables come from trunks recovered from the soil, perfectly preserved in mud for thousands of years, free from oxygen and moisture. This natural process has allowed the wood to retain its extraordinary properties, making each table a piece of living history.

Choosing a Kauri Table: Beauty and Durability Over Time

Opting for a kauri wood table means bringing a timeless design element into your home, capable of telling a unique story through its grain and details. Each solid wood table and coffee table from the Kauri Collection is destined to endure over time, thanks to its robust nature and the quality of craftsmanship.

Riva1920 continues to interpret the beauty of wood with mastery, offering design furniture that combines aesthetics, functionality, and artisanal tradition. Discover the Kauri Collection and be enchanted by the timeless elegance of a Riva1920 table.

Notable names include Renzo Piano, Matteo Piano, Terry Dwan, Antonio Citterio, Paolo Pininfarina, Helidon Xhixha, and Mario Botta.
