For a century Bedont has been building chairs and tables using one of the noblest products, wood, as a raw material. In the early days it was an opportunity-using what the land offered and, surrounded by the thousand-year-old forests of the Dolomites, cutting down a tree meant allowing young plants to grow. Keeping this choice today is, on the one hand, the common thread linking Bedont to its origins, and on the other, the manifesto of environmental sustainability in using a renewable material whose cultivation is good for the planet by transforming carbon dioxide into oxygen, that is, life.
Just as the use of wood betrays Bedont's way of approaching production by using a durable material that can be handed down from generation to generation, so too the choice of form given to the objects produced is the key to timeless design that does not follow ephemeral fads destined to fade in the time of a season.
Likewise, Bedont's objects go beyond the dualism between residential and public space. What is functional to the use for which it is built can be placed in any project be it a metropolitan super penthouse, an international airport, a corporate canteen or an intimate provincial apartment.
