Aldo Spinelli

Aldo Spinelli came to Riva 1920 through Le Briccole di Venezia, when Davide and Maurizio Riva invited him to design a piece of furniture in briccola wood for the launch of the collection. Briccola is timber recovered from the Venetian lagoon, and the material sets the terms of his contribution. His response, in 2010, was the Calle family. The Calle Briccola table lays planks of briccola, left unglued and with their natural edges, across an iron base of two U-shaped legs joined by a central bar, keeping the history of each board visible. The Calle Cult Bench belongs to the same line and carries its name into seating. Riva 1920 lists four of his designs, three from 2010 and one from 2022, a collaboration built on a single material and a plain, structural way of handling it.
