Brand: Riva 1920Model: HourglassDesign by: Mario BottaClessidra is conceived as both a stool and a coffee table, carved from a single block of solid cedar. Designed by Mario Botta, the piece reflects a strong architectural identity, defined by two opposing hemispheres stacked one above the other to form the iconic hourglass silhouette.The symmetrical composition creates a harmonious balance between upper and lower volumes, while the central narrowing enhances the dynamic tension of the form without compromising structural solidity. The result is a monolithic object that combines sculptural presence with functional versatility.In this version, Clessidra is finished in Cedro Vulcano, a darkened treatment that intensifies the depth of the wood grain and enhances the contrast between light and shadow across its curved surfaces. The finish gives the piece a bold and contemporary character while preserving the authenticity of the solid cedar.Thanks to its compact proportions, Clessidra can be used either as a seat or as a coffee/side table, seamlessly integrating into contemporary living spaces and refined interiors where geometry and material purity take center stage.Material:Solid cedar - Cedar volcano finish, carved from a single blockDimensions:Ø 39.5 × H 46 cmØ 15.6 × H 18.1 inConcept:Hourglass transforms the timeless form of the hourglass into a functional wooden sculpture.
