Collectible Mollettina Cedar Bench by Baldessari & Baldessari for Riva1920

About the Item

The Mollettina 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. The Molletta Bench is crafted from solid cedarwood, which is known for its durability, beautiful grain, and aromatic properties. The choice of wood ensures that the bench is both sturdy and aesthetically pleasing. Expert Craftsmanship: Each bench is completely handmade by skilled artisans at Riva 1920. The attention to detail in the carving and finishing processes highlights the brand’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship. The bench’s shape not only makes it a distinctive piece of furniture but also provides comfortable seating. The carved groove in the center, mimicking the function of a real clothes peg, can also serve as a convenient storage space for small items. This product is crafted from solid cedar wood. Due to the natural properties of solid cedar, the following changes may occur over time, especially when placed outdoors: 1. Cracks, splits, and movements in the wood are expected and should be viewed as a normal part of the material’s aging process rather than a defect. If used outdoors, these movements will be more pronounced and frequent. 2. When exposed to outdoor elements, cedar will gradually turn grey due to UV exposure and moisture. This transformation is unavoidable and occurs naturally over time. 3. The appearance of mold spots or surface deposits is a natural reaction of cedar, particularly when stored in transport crates for extended periods, or covered for too long. If mold spots appear, follow these maintenance steps: - Use the provided brush to remove surface residue. - Wash the affected area with water. - Allow the piece to dry in a well-ventilated area. 4. Cedar wood contains natural resins, which may surface over time, particularly on the top or bottom of the product. To prevent staining, avoid placing cedar furniture directly on carpets or soft surfaces that restrict airflow. General Care Recommendations - Keep cedar products in dry, well-ventilated spaces. - If used outdoors, understand that significant aging effects will occur, including color fading, deeper cracks, and more pronounced wood movement. By purchasing and using this product outdoors, the buyer fully accepts these natural transformations as part of the wood’s aging process.
