Riga-Riga
Made by Zanotta
Designed by Pierre Charpin
Pierre Charpin designed Riga-Riga for Zanotta in 2025 as a study in geometric precision, where the surface of a sideboard becomes an architectural composition in its own right. Strips of stained ash alternate with back-painted colored glass inserts, producing a rhythm of depth and shadow that shifts with the light.
The MDF frame is veneered in open-pore lacquered ash, available in black or amaranth. Each finish opens onto its own palette of glass combinations: black pairs with black, mint, or sky; amaranth with amaranth, ivory, or coral. Tone-on-tone restraint or deliberate contrast, the choice shapes the character of the piece entirely.
- Adjustable internal shelves in tempered extra-clear glass
- Optional integrated neutral LED lighting
- Available in two ash finishes with multiple glass insert color combinations
Charpin's practice moves freely between furniture, ceramics, and graphic work, always with an eye toward the sensory. Riga-Riga carries that sensibility into storage, making function and decoration genuinely inseparable.
