EXTETA x RIVA Chair
Made by Exteta
Designed by Massimo Castagna
The collaboration between Exteta and Riva is one of design meeting nautical legend. Massimo Castagna draws from the storied visual language of Riva yachts, vessels long associated with precision engineering and an almost sculptural attention to surface, translating those qualities into a chair that holds its own whether placed at a terrace table or within a considered interior.
Castagna's approach is one of studied restraint. The silhouette is clean without being sparse, and the finishes carry the same care one expects from the Riva tradition: polished, purposeful, and attentive to how light moves across a surface. The result is a piece that belongs to both the world of furniture design and the longer history of Italian craft.
