When considering indoor health and air quality, many people may fail to consider the furniture they choose for their homes. Much of the furniture that you find is made of questionable materials such as synthetic foams and upholstery, and is often sprayed with harmful chemicals that compromise air quality and that can absorb into your skin. We carry upholstered furniture filled with natural rubber and wool, which are not only comfortable but eliminate the need for flame retardant chemicals.  They are upholstered with beautiful fabrics in linen, hemp and organic cotton.  All of our wooden furniture is made of reclaimed or FSC certified wood, and all use formaldehyde-free adhesives and non-toxic finishes and stains. We carry lines that offer the best quality and are built to last, while also incorporating unique and original designs. For customers interested in custom work, Riva’s is in contact with a number of local artisans and woodworkers who may be available for commissioned pieces. Remember to consider the materials and methods used in the production of your furniture and cabinetry when examining the overall health of your home.
