Earth Table Riva 1920

Earth Table by RENZO E MATTEO PIANO / C.R. & S. RIVA1920

The Earth table is one of the most emblematic products of Riva 1920, a historic Made in Italy furniture Italian company.
Earth was born from a project developed by the collaboration between Renzo Piano, the internationally reknowed architect and designer, and his son Matteo, with Maurizio and Davide Riva brothers, designers and owners of the homonymous company, who have been able to merge into a single piece of furniture stylistic research, attention to detail, and use of natural materials. Earth, as the name suggests, distinguishes itself for its particular top, made of resin and Kauri wood, a type of conifer typical of New Zealand, in which the wooden inserts represent the continents on the Earth's crust and the parts in resin the oceans. Besides the symbolic value, the combination of these two materials creates an evocative play of light and shadow.
The Earth table, available in one size, is also characterized by a metal base in the colors of the collection, and whose design recalls the original design of the "Antico" table that Renzo Piano designed for the "Ground Zero .. Ground Heroes " initiative promoted by Riva 1920 to support the victims of the Twin Towers' terrorist attack.
