Gianluca Barbieri is an Italian architect born in 1984. His work is shaped by a lasting interest in space as something in constant evolution, able to change over time with the development of society, the shifting needs of people and the customs and habits of daily life.
For Riva 1920 he designed the Molaire Stool (2023), carved from a single block of solid scented cedar. Its form reproduces an off-scale tooth, turning an unexpected subject into a compact, sculptural seat suited to both interior and outdoor settings.
