Brand: Riva 1920Model: BotteaDesign by: Mario BottaThe Bottea bench is entirely crafted from oak reclaimed from Barrique barrels, embodying a powerful dialogue between geometric rigor and material authenticity. The seat is formed by gluing the barrel staves side by side, preserving their natural curvature; this curved section subtly enhances comfort while maintaining the structural solidity of the piece.The vertical supports are defined by precise dovetail joints, an expressive construction detail that becomes both structural and aesthetic. This visible craftsmanship highlights the artisanal expertise behind the design, reinforcing the connection between tradition and contemporary architectural language.The compact and monolithic proportions reflect Mario Botta's architectural approach, where clarity of form and honesty of material take center stage. The natural tonal variations and markings of the reclaimed oak enrich the bench with character, making each piece unique.Bottea is both a functional seating element and a sculptural object-ideal for residential interiors, galleries, or refined contract spaces where design integrity and material history are essential.Finish: Barrique oakDimensions:W 75 × D 42 × H 30.5 cmW 29.5 × D 16.5 × H 12 in
