The Mountains Bench by Hsiao‑Ching Wang for Riva 1920 is a sculptural seating piece carved from a single block of solid cedar wood. Its flowing, undulating profile evokes the silhouette of mountain landscapes, transforming the bench into both a functional object and a striking architectural statement.Each bench is crafted using traditional woodworking techniques and highlights the natural beauty and character of cedar, including knots, grain variation, and organic movement in the wood. The piece is available with the distinctive Vulcano finish, achieved through a controlled charring process that darkens the surface and creates a richly textured appearance reminiscent of volcanic rock. This finish enhances the depth of the wood grain while giving the bench a dramatic, tactile surface.The Mountains Bench is designed as both seating and a sculptural centerpiece, suitable for contemporary interiors that celebrate natural materials and expressive forms.MaterialSolid cedar woodFinishVulcano charred finishOriginMade in ItalyImportant InformationSolid cedar naturally expands, contracts, and may develop small cracks or splits over time.

This does not affect the structural integrity of the bench.This piece is intended for indoor use only.Maintenance is performed using the manufacturer’s maintenance kit, which includes natural oils and waxes designed to preserve the finish.ShippingOur pricing includes international shipping to the United States, as well as duties and customs clearance fees.
