Over a century of experience in wood craftsmanship

 

Riva 1920 began its journey in 1920 in Cantù, in a small artisan workshop. Over the years, the company has grown while consistently maintaining a strong focus on natural wood and its enhancement. Today, the woods used come from planned and controlled harvesting, alongside reclaimed materials such as millennia-old New Zealand kauri, Lebanese cedar, reclaimed barrique barrels, and Venetian briccole, the traditional wooden poles used in the lagoon to mark navigable waterways.

 

Riva 1920 was founded and continues to operate as a family-owned company, now in its fourth generation. Its deep connection to tradition is combined with an innovative vision, allowing the brand to look ahead while remaining faithful to its roots.

 

Riva 1920 furniture, made to last

 

The mission of Riva 1920 furniture is to create pieces that embody Italian design, artisanal expertise, and a commitment to sustainability, resulting in durable furniture designed to stand the test of time. Riva 1920 pieces are crafted through skilled manual processes that enhance the natural beauty of wood, with a strong focus on flexibility, customization, and innovation.

 

Riva 1920 tables express the company’s philosophy through geometric forms that highlight both materials and craftsmanship. The solid wood tops of tables such as Incastro, Palma, Rewood, Bedrock, and Alter Ego are paired with substantial, distinctive bases that define each design. Tables such as Briccole Venezia by Matteo Thun and Canal Briccola by Patricia Urquiola showcase the creative use of reclaimed wood, where marks of the past become defining visual elements.

 

Among the living area furnishings, Riva 1920 stools in solid wood stand out for their originality, ranging from soft, organic shapes to more geometric designs. Each stool is carved from a single block of wood sourced from planned and controlled harvesting, shaped by the vision of designers such as Marc Sadler, Karim Rashid, Pininfarina, Mario Bellini, Alessandro Mendini, and Michele De Lucchi. The Riva 1920 stool collection includes small wooden sculptures, highly distinctive pieces that reflect both bold ideas and exceptional craftsmanship.
