​Choosing the Best Materials for Garden and Outdoor Furniture: The Cedar Collection

For outdoor design professionals, selecting the right materials for garden and outdoor furniture is crucial to achieving both durability and aesthetic appeal. The Cedar Collection from Riva 1920 that we are introducing offers a perfect balance of strength and style, making it ideal for various environments. Let's dive into the key features of two premium materials—cedar wood and teak—both known for their durability and elegance in indoor or outdoor settings.

Cedar of Lebanon: Elegance with Durability

The cedar wood in our Soft Collection stands out for its natural beauty and durability. Thanks to its high resin content, Lebanese cedar is naturally waterproof, making it highly resistant to moisture, mold, and decay. Its distinct fragrance adds a serene, natural ambiance to outdoor spaces while also acting as a natural insect repellent. Over time, this wood evolves from its initial reddish-brown hue to a sophisticated taupe-gray, enhancing its charm.

This makes cedar a fantastic choice for outdoor environments such as hotels, restaurants, parks, and schools. Beyond its aesthetics, the cedar wood used in our collection is sustainably sourced from fallen or authorized trees, ensuring that every piece of furniture is made with responsible use of natural resources.

Teak: The Best for Prestigious Outdoor Spaces

Teak wood is another high-performance option in this Collection. Known for its exceptional resistance to weather, humidity, and temperature changes, teak is perfect for outdoor use, even in harsh conditions. Originally used in shipbuilding, its natural oils repel water, mold, and pests, ensuring the longevity of outdoor furniture. Teak's warm golden-brown color, combined with its refined grain, adds an air of sophistication to any setting.

Teak is ideal for high-end environments such as luxury hotels, outdoor dining spaces, and corporate lounges, where both performance and aesthetics are key. Like cedar, our Cedar Collection features sustainably sourced teak, ensuring that each piece is as eco-friendly as it is durable.

Outdoor Fabrics: Style Meets Function

Beyond wood, the fabrics used in this collection are specifically selected for their resilience and style. These high-performance outdoor fabrics resist water, UV rays, and stains while maintaining vibrant colors and ease of maintenance. Whether for seating or decorative cushions, the fabrics combine comfort and functionality, making them ideal for heavy-use outdoor areas.
