The objects in this catalogue are numbered and entirely made in the Ripa laboratory.

POWDER COATING
Powder coating uses synthetic resins dried at high temperatures. The cured paint creates an adherent and durable coating.
Maintenance: cleaning with slightly aggressive products.
SPRAY PAINTING
Spray paint is a two-component acrylic enamel with high opacity. It is applied by hand and dried at low temperatures.zbr> Maintenance: cleaning with slightly aggressive products.
GALVANIZATION
The process of applying a protective zinc coating to prevent iron rusting. It is used for outdoor products. It is finally powder coated.

STEEL
Galvanized high gloss steel plate in 24-carat gold or chrome version.
Maintenance: cleaning with specific products for steel.
HOT ROLLED IRON PLATE*
The metal surface can show different imperfections and shadows. This is not a flaw to be fixed but the intrinsic feature of the material and its industrial usage.

CORTEN*
Weathering steel for outdoor use thanks to its high resistance to corrosion. Its main feature is an oxide coat lending a rust-like finish. When furnished, it has been already oxidised with a wax treatment.
BLACKENING
Treatment obtained by exposing the metal to blackening acidics to lend an irregular and dark finish. Transparent protection.

*BEESWAX PROTECTION TREATMENT
Beeswax creates a thin and delicate layer of protection. The treatment is carried out manually using a cloth on the hot worked iron plate and on Corten steel.
Maintenance: wax this surfaces every 6 months. Cleaning with slightly aggressive products.

MARBLES
We have selected Italian marbles featuring a strong tactile identity, carefully chosen to complement the clean, essential geometries of the RIPA collections.
Each slab is entirely unique, displaying natural variations in color, veining, and texture that define its true value. These are not imperfections to be corrected, but authentic traces of the living stone and its origins.
Available options:

ACQUASANTA TRAVERTINE
Compact, balanced, and defined by a clean, linear, and natural grain.

VERONA RED
Warm and bold, with rich nuances ranging from orange-red to deep terracotta.

PORTORO BLACK
Deep, striking, and dramatic, woven with high-contrast golden veins.

STRATA - MINERAL FINISH
STRATA is a decorative coating made of aged lime putty and water-based acrylic enamel. Manually applied to metal surfaces, it creates a layered mineral finish designed for interior use.
Maintenance: clean with a damp cloth and mild detergents; avoid abrasive or acidic products.

HAND-WOVEN CELLULOSE CORD SEAT
Hand-woven in Italy, this seating element is crafted from cellulose cord—a natural fibre derived from twisted paper, selected for its strength and longterm performance under tension. The weave, executed with a fine gauge, follows a cross-radial geometry that generates a continuous, flexible surface. Load is distributed through fibre tension, ensuring comfort without the need for padding. Each piece is unique: variations in weave pattern and tone are an inherent part of the artisanal process.
