Rio Stool
Made by Henge
Designed by Massimo Castagna
The Rio Stool is the work of Massimo Castagna, a Milan-based designer whose practice centers on the conversation between raw material and resolved form. For Henge, a brand that approaches fabrication as an act of craft, Castagna distilled that sensibility into a piece of uncommon stillness.
Wood and metal meet in a composition that reads as both spare and considered. The seat profile carries a quiet precision, while the structural elements beneath hold the piece in balance, visually and physically. Nothing is decorative for its own sake.
- Designed by Massimo Castagna for Henge
- Wood and metal construction with sculptural clarity

The Rio functions at a kitchen counter, a bar, or within a more intimate residential interior with equal ease. Its restraint is the point, and its presence is felt precisely because of it.
