Collectible Molletta Vulcano Cedar Bench by Baldessari & Baldessari for Riva1920

About the Item

The Molletta Bench is designed by Baldessari e Baldessari, a design studio known for its innovative and playful approach. The bench is inspired by the simple form of a clothes peg (or "molletta" in Italian), transformed into a large-scale piece of functional art. The bench takes the familiar shape of a clothes peg and reinterprets it in a bold and humorous way. Its exaggerated proportions and striking form make it a conversation piece and a standout element in any setting. The Molletta Bench is crafted from solid cedar, which is known for its durability, beautiful grain, and aromatic properties. Expert Craftsmanship: Each bench is made completely by the hands skilled artisans at Riva 1920. The attention to detail in the carving and finishing processes highlights the brand’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Volcano Finish: This particular finish is one of the standout options for the "Molletta" bench. The "Volcano" finish involves a special charring process that gives the wood a dark, textured appearance reminiscent of volcanic rock. This finish enhances the wood's natural grain and creates a striking, tactile surface. To protect and maintain the volcano cedar finish follow the instructions provided with the maintenance kit. Apply natural scented oils or waxes every six months using the provided wax. After waxing, avoid placing cushions or sitting on the surface with light-colored clothing, as friction may cause slight color transfer. Promptly dab any spills with absorbent paper—do not rub. Hot liquids and strong detergents may permanently damage the surface. Dispose of wax-covered clothes following the maintenance kit instructions. Solid cedar wood naturally expands, contracts, and forms cracks or splits over time. These are expected and do not qualify as defects. The Vulcano finish process may cause additional cracks, revealing pale yellow tones of untreated cedar beneath. This is a normal reaction and does not affect the wood’s integrity. Cracks or indentations can be touched up using the special brush and black color included in the maintenance kit. This product is NOT intended for outdoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements may lead to significant cracking, fading, and damage, which will not be considered grounds for complaints or claims. The natural characteristics of solid cedar and the Vulcano finish process are inherent to the product and should be expected. By purchasing this product, the buyer acknowledges and accepts these natural aging effects, and no claims or complaints will be accepted related to wood movement, cracks, finish variations, or maintenance requirements.
