One of the most heartfelt issues of recent times is that concerning environmental sustainability and the green. The ecological aspect is also becoming increasingly important in the world of design. There are many furniture companies that have been using compliant materials for several years and follow processes that limit pollution. Among the leading brands of world design we find: Riva 1920, Valcucine and the Scandinavian company Carl Hansen & Son.
For years Valcucine has put man and his well-being at the centre, every space is designed to be a perfectly compliant environment, but above all healthy, because it is free of toxic or harmful materials, both for the environment and for the person who lives in Valcucine .
An awareness that ensures maximum reduction of toxic emissions, the elimination of harmful components such as formaldehyde, the use of water-based paints and the control of radioactive substances.
Valcucine, which has been fighting for years to ensure that its product is in line with the environment, has won several "Green" awards, including: in 2009 the Best Green Design&Architecture , in 2010 the Green Good Design Award and in 2015 the Radical Green Award .
“Producing with honesty to hand down to future generations, building furniture in solid wood that can stand the test of time while fully respecting the environment”.
This is the thought that guides and motivates every daily action of Riva 1920.
Riva 1920 designs, customizes and creates products that enrich spaces, connecting people and not damaging the environment. Entirely made in Italy furniture whose longevity is essential for sustainable development.
The Carl Hansen & Son company, in addition to working with the best designers and the best materials on the market, has been committed to sustainable development for many years. The company undertakes to use only certified wood, thus ensuring a product made with wood from responsibly managed forests and sawmills.
Wood is a precious natural resource, Carl Hansen is committed to making the best use of every piece and every little scrap.
