Man is a symbolic animal. He is so to the extent that ideas, even the most fascinating ones, need to be firmly anchored to the ground. Otherwise, they risk drifting away like clouds on a windy day. Creating signs and symbols is an activity of extraordinary creative power. Through it, humanity transforms the world.
Symbols evoke, celebrate, sanction. They are our conscience and our memory. They inextricably link the past to the future, design intelligence to poetic intelligence, the culture of doing to that of dreaming and fantasy. This is the purpose of Phoebe.
Phoebe, promoted by Officine Riva and created by the sculptor Sonia Scaccabarozzi, is a creation that evokes the continuity between past and future and the alliance between physical and intellectual work. An objective made possible by the intelligence, courage and dedication to work of the entire Officine Riva Team.
Like the Company, Phoebe is at the same time a revolution in continuity: a sculpture made with the manufacturing products to celebrate the will and commitment that carry on the founder's legacy.
"I was inspired by the spirit of Officine Riva,
its origins and its current essence."

Sonia Scaccabarozzi:
“I was inspired by the spirit of Officine Riva, its origins and its current essence. The transparent glass casing represents the Company and its founder, Cipriano Riva: it preserves his ideas, projects and knowledge.
Inside, I included products that withstand the test of time: washers of different shapes and colours, whose sizes make them resemble grains of sand.
A story that comes from afar, projected towards tomorrow, safeguarded and passed down by daughters and granddaughters represented by four large washers anchored to the ground like the roots of a great tree that continues to grow, where each element represents a valuable resource of the Officine Riva team, each with its own personality and uniqueness.”

Women make the future. A true and poetic statement: women by definition are the origin of life. But how do you build the future of a company? The answer of the female intelligence that currently leads the Company is based on solid facts such as the metals that are worked.
The female presence in a metalworking industry is a real added value: the contribution that a feminine perspective can offer to this type of industry is inestimable, enhancing it is the key to achieving that extra edge that makes Officine Riva an increasingly recognizable reality on the market.
There are many ways to do business.
Ours puts people at the hearth, regardless of gender, origin, or skin color.
We are what today is called an inclusive business: committed to recognizing personal talent, safeguarding business continuity, and building our future.
