Wood
Grassi & Radice loves nature, as do its customers, which is why it can offer an authentic product made of wood with full respect for the environment and the people who live in it. Each element is subjected to quality and functional conformity tests, to which is added the use of vinyl adhesives and oil, vegetable wax and water-based finishes, guaranteeing an authentic and completely natural product. Solid wood, plywood and blockboard are fundamental materials in the production of furniture, paneling and accessories. Solid wood is the mother ingredient for some products, and only wood from controlled and programmed cuts is used. This means that every time a tree is cut for furniture production, more trees are replanted, so the circle of life is not interrupted and nature is given back what it has given.
Painting
Aware of the importance of preserving the natural heritage, we are increasingly willing to actively engage in its conservation. Reducing the harmful effects of production on the environment as much as possible is therefore the main objective of modern production. With this in mind, Grassi & Radice uses an exclusive water-based matt lacquering system, which today represents the most advanced answer in terms of respect for the environment, health protection and the quality of manufactured products. Painting without polluting the environment is the result achieved by substituting water for solvents and using emulsion resins dispersed in an aqueous system. By painting furniture with water-based varnishes, the emission of polluting solvents into the atmosphere is reduced by more than 95% in compliance with the strict European standard EN 71.3
Ecological panels
For Grassi & Radice, product quality also means respect for consumer health and the environment. This is why only ISO9001-certified ecological panels with near-zero formaldehyde emissions are used, falling within class E1 of European standards EN717 and EN120. MDF and laminate panels are made exclusively from 100% reused wood through a certified quality production process that respects the environment because it does not involve the felling of trees.
Padding
Grassi & Radice upholstered furniture is made from natural and innovative materials selected according to the strictest criteria of quality, safety and solidity. These characteristics and the craftsmanship of the construction details determine the value and durability of each product. The structure of our upholstered items is covered with materials of different densities, selected according to the position in which they are to be used by assessing the needs of our spine in order not to force it into incorrect positions so as not to damage muscles, joints and ligaments. The comfortable feel of the cushions is determined by the right and balanced dosage of goose and duck feathers (carefully washed, sterilised and hypoallergenic product) enveloping a polyurethane core with differentiated thickness; all enclosed in a pure cotton cover. Each model is a new interpretation of the design through the selection of colours, fibres and fabrics. Grassi & Radice carefully studies the compatibility between the characteristics of the covering and the technical and aesthetic peculiarities of the subject to be upholstered. Each material undergoes tests that identify and guarantee its characteristics of quality, resistance and durability to abrasion.
