EXTETA x RIVA Lamp
Made by Exteta
Designed by Massimo Castagna
The collaboration between Exteta and Riva is rooted in a shared reverence for craft. Massimo Castagna's lamp draws directly from the visual language of the iconic Riva speedboat, translating its curves, its warmth, and its obsessive attention to detail into a form made for outdoor living.
The silhouette is sculptural without theatrics. Its proportions recall the refined detailing of classic Riva vessels, where every element is considered and nothing is incidental. The warm glow it casts is deliberate, atmospheric rather than functional in the purely utilitarian sense.
