Wood, unlike non-living materials, bases its identity on imperfections. These become strengths and amplify tactile sensations.
The heat that emanates to the touch offers unique perceptions, impossible to find in other materials.
Maui is an armchair produced by Riva 1920 and designed by Terry Dwan, an American designer and architect who has lived in Italy for many years. Wife of Antonio Citterio, she has also been a partner in his studio for some time. Today his studio collaborates with international brands and has won numerous awards.
For the Maui armchair, Terry Dwan chose solid cedar wood, worked from a single block. The object is halfway between design and sculpture, with sinuous shapes and an ergonomic seat that blends with the backrest.
The beauty of the armchair lies not only in the shape, but also in the characteristics of the wood. Each piece is unique and unrepeatable. The seasoned wood can have different colours, and the cracks and natural veins make each Maui different from the others.
The warm tones of the scented cedar wood add refinement to the rooms. They help create a warm and comfortable atmosphere. Recent studies show that the use of natural materials in furniture reduces stress and improves mood.
The Maui adapts perfectly to both modern and classic contexts. Wood is a ductile material that fits easily into any type of interior. In addition, Maui is completely environmentally sustainable.
