Baldessari e Baldessari is a professional partnership founded by Giulio, Paolo and Michela Baldessari, working across architecture, industrial and visual design and interior architecture through several internal workgroups and a wide network of collaborators. Their principal work for Riva 1920 is the Molletta Bench (2012), carved from single blocks of scented cedar and modelled on an outsized clothes peg, an off-scale play that draws on classic Pop Art. Molletta is produced in three sizes, Mollettina, Molletta Medium and Molletta, with the metal spring offered in several colours. The studio returned to the company with Decant in 2018. The Decant Coffee Table, round or square, sets a top of glued solid wood strips on a central leg in the same wood, with a lower section in vulcano cedar; the Decant Dining Table, also round or square, brings the series to dining scale.
