Bench Model Molletta Attributed to Riva in Metal and Wood
Height: 38 cm Width: 239 cm Depth: 47 cm Seat Height: 38 cm
Wooden bench attributed to the RIVA 1920s studio from the 1980s. The bench is made from unique blocks and is characterised by a sculptural design that plays with the typical outsize of Pop art. Made of two blocks, one in concave metal and the other in wood. Joined together by the red lacquered iron spring.
The object thus takes on a double life: the first is that of a large seat designed for large indoor and outdoor spaces; the second is that of a powerful sculptural element, capable of defining the identity of the surrounding space. However, the enlarged MOLLETTA is also a tribute to the simple and anonymous design that has always silently shared our daily domestic life. The aesthetic strength of this MOLLETTA owes much to the skilful woodworking that Riva 1920 has in its tradition.
