Riva1920 is distinguished by its dedication to honest materials and slow craftsmanship. Each creation is handmade in Cantù, Italy, using traditional techniques such as mortise-and-tenon joinery, hand-finishing, and oil-based treatments. Timber is sourced from either reclaimed stock—such as Kauri trees over 45,000 years old and Venetian Briccole—or from FSC-certified forests managed by the atelier itself. The result is not just furniture, but heirloom-calibre objects that carry a visible connection to nature, sustainability, and time.
All Riva1920 furniture is handcrafted in Cantù, a town in Lombardy known for its fine woodworking heritage. The atelier blends artisanal skill with advanced machinery to ensure every joint, edge, and surface meets uncompromising standards. From the initial drying of timber to final polishing, the entire process takes place under one roof—guaranteeing full traceability and material integrity at every stage.
