RIVA1920:
Solid Wood Design Furniture

No one loves wood as much as we do.
No one works with wood the way we do.

Our story began in 1920 in Cantù, at the heart of Brianza, in a small artisan workshop founded by Nino Romano, grandfather of our current CEO and President, Maurizio Riva. With the arrival of the third generation in the 1990s, Riva1920 embarked on a journey of growth and innovation, becoming a symbol of excellence in Italian-made solid wood design. Today, the company is led by Maurizio Riva alongside his daughters, Monica and Elena, representing the fourth generation.

To produce with honesty and flexibility, passing down our craftsmanship to future generations by creating solid wood furniture that stands the test of time—always with the utmost respect for the environment.

This philosophy guides and inspires every action we take at Riva1920.
