NEL VERDE, DIPINTO DI VERDE / IN THE GREEN, PAINTED GREEN

For a century Bedont has been making chairs and tables using one of the most noble materials—wood. At the beginning, it was an opportunity: using what their land offered them. In the Dolomites they were surrounded by ancient forests, and cutting down a tree meant allowing new ones to grow. Today this has become a choice that allows them on one side to pass on that common thread that bonds them to their roots, and on the other, to use a renewable material, the cultivation of which does not harm the planet , since it turns carbon dioxide into oxygen, namely life.

Bedont’s choice to usewood, a long-lasting material, reveals their aim to produce something that can be passed on from one generation to next, and they also apply this concept in the design of their products— they make timeless objects that are not subject to passing fads bound to die out in the time frame of a single season.

Timeless also means placeless: their products go beyond the commercial connotations of residential or public space. What is functional for its use can be placed in any project, be it a super metropolitan penthouse, an international airport, a company canteen, or a cozy suburban apartment.
