Table Bedrock Plank B

Bedrock Plank Table by Riva 1920

An exceptional dining table that combines simplicity with ingenuity. To achieve the full width of the two planks lying side by side, the board is not split down the middle as is usually the case. To use the board in this way, very careful treatment of the wood is necessary.

Riva1920 takes the time to store the full logs on its own premises for a long time. After the first rough cut, they are stored a second time. Finally, a third storage area is set up in the workshop. In this way, the "consent" of the wood for the unusual construction of this table is gently obtained. On the outside, one feels the anatomy of the natural tree edge; in the middle, in contrast, a small gap is left open in the parallel joint.

The base is made of raw, solid iron, hand-finished and oiled to prevent rust. Viewed from the side, the tabletop appears to float, as the base looks very delicate in profile. In this design, the archaic is thus naturally combined with lightness and modernity. This table was designed for Riva by star architect Terry Dwan, who runs her office in Milan with Antonio Citterio.

Construction

The solid oak or walnut planks rest on a frame of pure oiled iron. The two planks are mounted slightly offset from each other. The iron frame is hand-forged and waxed.

Special Features

Only the bark has been removed from the edges, so that the organic shape of the trunk remains perceptible. The width can therefore vary by up to 10 cm! Furthermore, we would like to inform you that any changes, cracks or splits, both upon receipt of the goods and subsequently, are to be regarded as completely normal and typical characteristics for a product made entirely of solid wood and cannot be accepted as a defect in the event of complaints.
