Silvio Consentino is an Italian designer born and raised in Turin. He grew up in his family's manufacturing and artisanal business and spent more than ten years as a designer at one of Turin's leading design houses. In 2023 he cofounded TEMPRA, a design studio operating between Europe and China, with Antony Margiasso and Vincenzo Fortunato.
For Riva 1920 he designed the Not Too Late Bench, carved from a single block of solid scented cedar. Its form is a polar bear half submerged in water, a quiet visual metaphor for climate change and its consequences.
