The first is its creation. Designed in 2012 as a one-of-a-kind piece, Ariva is the result of a deep reflection on the body and how it inhabits space. It\u2019s not a conventional seat, but a carefully balanced construction of interlocking elements: seven natural beechwood components &#8211; two backrests, four legs, and a seat &#8211; come together in a sculptural, precise, and unmistakable form, thanks to both design and meticulous joinery.  <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3d300a1 dce_masking-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3d300a1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mmcompany.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ARIVA-14-1-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-24390\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mmcompany.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ARIVA-14-1-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.mmcompany.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ARIVA-14-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.mmcompany.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ARIVA-14-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mmcompany.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ARIVA-14-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.mmcompany.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ARIVA-14-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-76d726a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"76d726a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;,&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b324cc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5b324cc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">The second moment came in 2018 with its industrialization. During a visit to our studio, Emanuel Battocchio, Managing Director of Sitia, came across the Ariva prototype and decided to bring it into the brand\u2019s collection. From there, an industrial development process transformed the piece into a serial product, without sacrificing any of its original design rigor. Ariva was officially unveiled at the Salone del Mobile that same year, retaining the strength of its original concept. Its all-wood construction, free from any metal parts, also makes it entirely sustainable.    <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eb7c266 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"eb7c266\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;,&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d21d650 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d21d650\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;,&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f8cadb e-grid e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5f8cadb\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;container_type&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;,&quot;grid_columns_grid&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;fr&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:2,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;grid_rows_grid&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;fr&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:1,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;,&quot;grid_outline&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;grid_columns_grid_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;fr&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;grid_columns_grid_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;fr&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:1,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;grid_rows_grid_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;fr&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;grid_rows_grid_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;fr&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;grid_auto_flow&quot;:&quot;row&quot;,&quot;grid_auto_flow_tablet&quot;:&quot;row&quot;,&quot;grid_auto_flow_mobile&quot;:&quot;row&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-785264e dce_masking-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"785264e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mmcompany.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ARIVA-15-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-24396\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mmcompany.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ARIVA-15-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mmcompany.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ARIVA-15-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.mmcompany.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ARIVA-15-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.mmcompany.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ARIVA-15-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mmcompany.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ARIVA-15-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-100d386 dce_masking-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"100d386\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"770\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mmcompany.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ARIVA-16-770x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-24400\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mmcompany.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ARIVA-16-770x1024.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.mmcompany.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ARIVA-16-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/www.mmcompany.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ARIVA-16-768x1022.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mmcompany.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ARIVA-16-1155x1536.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/www.mmcompany.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ARIVA-16-1540x2048.jpg 1540w, https:\/\/www.mmcompany.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ARIVA-16-scaled.jpg 1925w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-682e3ed elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"682e3ed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">Over the years, Ariva has been &#8220;dressed&#8221; in various finishes, including bold lacquers introduced during Milan Design Week 2025: chocolate, powder blue, mustard.
