Riace, an ode to the beauty of the town with its famous Warrior statues, is a shortcircuit of dynamic rigour. Equally sculptural and sinuous, it has a slender white bronze frame supporting a seemingly-suspended, wide upholstered seat and backrest.
First presented in 2022 with generous dimensions and a curved seat, in 2024 Riace was offered in a smaller version, 220 cm wide and with a straight seat. Shape and size are well suited to both domestic and contract spaces. The impeccable balance between seriousness and lightness again defines the designers' style, in an immediately familiar, exciting and vibrant atmosphere. To amaze, but without excess. With a name that inevitably recalls the story of the two mysterious bronze sculptures found in southern Italy, dating back to the 5th century B.C., the Riace sofa is - in its own way - no less fascinating and unexpected. Not only does it seduce with the elegance of its white bronze armrests and curved structure, but it also surprises with its majestic dimensions. Riace, in fact, is almost three and a half metres wide, and is available in dark green, black or grey.
