Riva by Marc Newson

June 8th, 2010 | Posted in: misc.

After yesterday’s heavy tech posts, today we’re back to the plain beautiful. Riva, the Italian producers of iconic speedboats has teamed up with designer Marc Newson to create the new version their Aquariva model.

The changes are subtile but innovative. Composite materials, in the shape of extremely durable wood-like laminates cover the deck area instead of traditional mahogany wood. And in stead of stainless steel anodized aluminum is used, making the design a little more sleek overall. Subtle but striking.

Newson also took care of the interior of the boat, giving it his signature style while preserving the Riva quality, look and feel. A job well done. Only 22 will be available from September 2010. Start saving up!
