Riva Headquarter, La Spezia

Commercial

ARCH. ALESSANDRO VERALLI

A Bespoke Project, an Authentic Expression of Riva Style

The new office headquarters at the Riva shipyard in La Spezia was born from an ambitious project designed by Architect Veralli and entirely delivered by Barberini Interiors.
This prestigious development was shaped through meticulous research into materials, finishes, and construction solutions, with the aim of translating into architecture the values that have always defined the Riva world: timeless elegance, attention to detail, artisanal quality, and Italian identity.
Each space was conceived as a unique project. Fully bespoke furnishings, refined wall coverings, custom boiserie, decorative elements, and lighting solutions interact seamlessly, creating interiors that are sophisticated, welcoming, and instantly recognisable.

Wood, metal, and light come together in a refined detail that expresses Riva’s tailored craftsmanship and distinctive identity.

A bespoke furniture element becomes part of the space, interpreting Riva’s distinctive identity and unmistakable design language.

Inspired by Riva yachts, the desk’s flowing curves turn functionality into an elegant, instantly recognisable brand expression.

Engineering, Craftsmanship and Execution

Barberini Interiors managed the entire execution, from technical development and engineering to production and installation, coordinating a full year of on-site works and specialised craftsmen. Particular attention was devoted to the Corian volume, which extends from the interiors onto the façade, becoming an iconic expression of the Riva brand. Its installation required highly complex technical coordination and the use of an operational platform on the water. The result is a headquarters that fully embodies Riva’s excellence and prestige, described by Avvocato Galassi as “the most beautiful shipyard in the world.”
