Rivalta Pin Board - Black

This pin board has a woven texture and a close, repeating diamond pattern across its black surface, so it reads as a patterned panel on the wall even with nothing pinned in place. It measures 48cm across and 71cm tall, an upright shape that fits the stretch of wall beside a desk or a narrow gap between a door and a window. At 4cm deep it has the solid edge of a framed panel rather than the look of a thin sheet. The board is made from 70% MDF, 20% polyurethane and 10% polyester.

Hang it over a desk in a study or home office and it becomes the place for notes, postcards, ticket stubs and fabric swatches, all in plain sight. In a living room it works as a mood board for ideas in progress, or simply as a patterned panel that breaks up a bare wall. It also sits well leaning on a deep shelf, a window seat or a sideboard, so you can prop it upright without making a hole in the plaster. Because the pattern is busy and the ground is black, pinned paper and photographs stand out clearly, and the board never looks empty between projects.

The woven surface wraps over the edges of the board, so the pattern carries round the sides and the 4cm depth looks finished from any angle. It weighs 1.43KG, light enough to lift into place and to move from the wall to a shelf whenever the mood changes. The maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download. For a calm wall, keep your pinned pieces to a small cluster near one corner and let the diamond pattern fill the rest; for a working board, layer notes and photographs edge to edge and let the black ground hold everything together.
