For over seventy years classically designed ‘Riva’ motorboats have glided across Italian lakes and Riviera harbours. One of many defining statements of a golden era of quiet style and discreet luxury. The inspiration for this desk came from the dark wooden decks with pale striped inlays that define those boats. It projects a quiet aura of sheer indulgence. An echo of the sort of furniture that Audrey Hepburn might once have leant against, smoking a cigarette in a foot long holder.
