Exteta x Riva: the art of nautical living

Designed by Massimo Castagna, the collection draws its inspiration from Riva’s most authentic soul, its heritage and history spanning over 180 years. Every detail bears witness to the fine expertise that has permeated every creation of the Italian shipyard since 1842, from the legendary symbol of the “dolce vita” of the 1960s to the technological innovation and the full-custom approach that have underpinned the brand's most recent evolution.

Exteta x Riva encompasses a complete range of furnishings, designed to enhance both the most refined residential settings as well as yacht decks. Seating elements, upholstered furniture, tables, complementary items, and accessories: the versatility of the collection brings a touch of refined conviviality to any setting, creating lounge nooks, places to relax, and dining areas where the outdoors can be savored in total ease. Each element boasts the Riva style, starting with the materials: from the prized sapele mahogany, masterfully crafted with its iconic glossy finish, to the shining and vibrant stainless steel accents. 

The sofas stand out for their sculptural design, with full volumes and generous padding, seemingly suspended on feet that raise them slightly to create a sophisticated illusion of weightlessness. Its modules can accommodate a wide range of seating arrangements, while two different types of armrests ensure maximum versatility: padded, with a slightly curved shape, or in wood, with a wide, elongated armrest that brings to mind the sophisticated contours of Riva yachts. This unique attribute is also echoed in the lounge chair and director's chair, two designs that are more essential and lightweight but no less comfortable thanks to their deep, padded seats.

The sense of harmony conveyed by the combination of wood and stainless steel is also a feature of the dining table (available in two sizes) and coffee tables, with their wood tops with parallel slats. Adding the finishing touch is the wireless stainless steel lamp, a smart detail that adds subtle lighting to any setting.
