When two icons of Italian craftsmanship and design come together, the result is nothing short of extraordinary. The new Exteta x Riva collection is the embodiment of this synergy — a co-branded line of outdoor furnishings that captures the essence of nautical elegance and translates it into timeless, refined living.
This exclusive collaboration merges the creative excellence of Exteta, known for redefining outdoor living, with the legendary heritage of Riva, the iconic yacht builder whose name is synonymous with the golden age of the “dolce vita.” Together, they have crafted a furniture collection that seamlessly bridges land and sea, bringing the luxurious spirit of yachting into homes and outdoor spaces.
A Lifestyle Anchored in Heritage
Designed by renowned architect Massimo Castagna, the Exteta x Riva collection draws deeply from Riva’s rich 180-year history. Each piece echoes the shipyard’s unmistakable style—from the sleek curves of its classic motorboats to the meticulous attention to detail that defines its modern, custom yachts. This DNA is brought to life in the collection’s materials and craftsmanship, with sapele mahogany featuring the signature glossy finish, and shining stainless steel accents that reflect the sunlight like waves on open water.
The collection includes a wide range of outdoor furniture — from sculptural sofas and modular seating elements to elegant tables, accessories, and complementary décor — all designed to elevate both exclusive residential settings and yacht decks alike.
Design That Captures the Sea
The pieces are visually bold, yet balanced, with sculpted volumes and soft, generous padding. Sofas appear to float just above the ground, supported by discreet feet that give them a sense of graceful lightness. Each seating module offers endless arrangement possibilities, and customization is key: two types of armrests are available — one upholstered and gently curved for comfort, the other crafted in fine wood, shaped with the same fluid lines that define Riva’s legendary yachts.
This is not just a furniture collection — it’s a declaration of style. It’s about creating refined lounge areas, tranquil spaces to unwind, and sophisticated dining environments where the beauty of the outdoors is celebrated in comfort and class.
An Ode to the Art of Living
Exteta x Riva is more than a collaboration; it’s a tribute to the Italian art of living. It celebrates the sea, design, and excellence — all brought together in a collection that speaks of heritage, craftsmanship, and the enduring charm of life by (and on) the water.
