EXTETA x RIVA Sun Lounger
Made by Exteta
Designed by Massimo Castagna
The collaboration between Exteta and Riva begins where craft traditions converge. Massimo Castagna's design draws directly from the silhouette vocabulary of Riva's legendary wooden yachts, translating their precise curves and considered proportions into a sun lounger built for open air.
The structure is marine-grade throughout, selected for its resistance to salt air, sun, and the particular demands of water-adjacent settings. An adjustable backrest allows the piece to shift between postures without disrupting its sculptural composure. Cushioning is generous in depth and calibrated in firmness, the kind that invites long afternoons rather than brief visits.
