The value of solidity
Riva1920 creates solid wood furniture using certified or reclaimed materials, combining sustainability, high-quality craftsmanship, and timeless design. An Italian excellence focused on durability, transparency, and authenticity.
Making reference to the sculptural qualities of the markers common to the Danish coastline, the slatted wooden ribs of the sculpture mimic their visual effects. An interplay of transparency shifts to Moiré effects as one walks towards and around the structure. Sømærke aims to have an analogous function by providing a beacon on the coast that offers guidance in space and time.
Intended to be experienced from both close proximity and as one approaches from afar, the sculpture’s lines of geometry constantly shift in appearance depending on the angle and distance of the viewer. Sømærke is an once a frame for outward observation and a work of art to be viewed from afar, it is a sculpture that draws in viewers and encourages their visual engagement.
