Short description

Riva Industria Mobili S.p.A., a company selling its own solid wood furniture Collection under the registered trademark of RIVA 1920, promotes the 9th Design Awards “Light Up Your Idea” for the design of six pieces of furniture, specifically TABLES and BENCHES intended for OUTDOOR use, to be included in the Riva 1920 collection.

Table Technical Guidelines:

➜ Solid Wood_Riva 1920: scented cedarwood or teak

➜ Other Components: It will also be possible to use other materials to make the table, provided they are suitable for outdoor use.

Bench Technical Guidelines:

➜ Solid Wood_Riva 1920: scented cedarwood, from a single block (examples of Riva1920 benches: CURVE BENCH, MOUNTAINS, OMBRA BENCH)

➜ Other Components: It will also be possible to use other materials to make the bench, provided they are suitable for outdoor use.

The projects having a simple and easy feasibility, but a high aesthetic impact combined with design, functionality and eco-sustainability, which best pursue the distinctive style of the Riva1920 Collection, will be favoured.

Each participant, whether as an individual or as part of a group, may submit only one project for the table and only one project for the bench, for a total of two projects per participant. The submitted table and bench projects are not required to be aesthetically coordinated.

The submitted project must be original and unpublished.
