Pinocchio by David Dolcini for Riva 1920

David Dolcini has created an adjustable stool made of solid cedar for Italian brand Riva 1920.

Called Pinocchio, the conical seat can be raised or lowered and held in place by a peg.

It was shown in Milan last month alongside other pieces in the brand's Cedarwood collection, including designs by Karim Rashid, Matteo Thun and Mario Botta.

Riva 1920 also presented a laundry room collection made of solid cedar in Milan (see our earlier story).

Here's a little bit of text from Riva 1920:


This is a series of solid scented stools, armchairs and small tables of various shapes and sizes. In this kind of article in solid cedarwood, small cracks occur naturally with the wood setting and moving as it seasons and adjusts to different environmental conditions.

The appearance of any stains or small patches of mould on the surface of the product is also a normal reaction on the part of the product to contact with the air, above all in the case of prolonged storage.
