A classic Riva boat docked at Masterpiece London 2013

Ventura-Europe was featuring a beautifully crafted Riva Tritone (1953) boat at this edition of the show. The high gloss lacquered mahogany, contrasting with sitka spruce inlaid and mixed with the polished chrome fixtures works magnificently. The turquoise strip below the hull is also a signature of the early Riva boats produced between the 50's and the 70's.

This very same boat was the main source of inspiration for the Riviera drinks cabinet (2013) created by Thibaut Degenne.
