Riva1920 — 10th Design Awards — Storage Units | 2026

 

Intervallo is a solid wood sideboard designed for the 10th Design Awards promoted by Riva1920, dedicated to the design of a storage unit.

​

At the centre, a full-depth subtraction interrupts the volume and creates an open space for books and objects, turning the void into an active part of the design. On each side, two closed volumes preserve the storage function. The doors, free of handles, converge at the top, allowing the form itself to suggest the gesture of opening. The upper surface becomes a standing-height support plane, recalling the original function of the sideboard through a contemporary, essential and tactile language.

​

Structure, opening and function come together in a single design gesture.
