Riva collection by Patricia Urquiola for CIMENTO

Unveiled during Milan Design Week, the Riva collection offers a poetic interpretation of nature through material and form. Central to the collection is CIMENTO technology, a cement-based composite made from over 90% mineral aggregates, primarily sourced from the production waste of large-scale quarries. Each component is developed with recyclable materials selected according to stringent environmental standards. The brand adheres to international certification such as FSC and PEFC, which ensure traceability and the responsible sourcing of raw materials.
