Briccola Wood
A new chapter in fine furnishings
Riva1920’s intuition of giving a new life to these oak posts was born from the great attention towards the environment and the ecology. The Briccole are the unquestioned main characters of Venice, which lead the boats and mark the Lagoon low tide and are periodically replaced due to wear. Made unique pieces by the industriousness of shipworms, small molluscs, Briccole are transformed into exclusive pieces of furniture able to convey a special emotion.


BRICCOLE: SHAPED BY THE SEA AND SALT
The average lifespan of a Briccole in the Venetian lagoon ranges from 10 to 20 years. They are eroded by the movement of the tides and therefore require periodic replacements. The uniqueness of the Briccole is amplified by the intervention of marine teredinids, mollusks that artistically engrave the wood, creating perfectly round holes and forming captivating designs and silhouettes.
