Introducing RIVA in Espresso: Rich, Grounded and Made to Be Noticed
Picture the moment the lamps go on in the evening. Warm light pools across a slab of softly veined marble and catches the deep tone of the wood beneath it. Suddenly the whole room feels settled. That’s the feeling behind RIVA in Espresso Dark Wood. It pairs a rich, deep-toned finish with natural Emperador marble to create pieces with genuine presence: polished, inviting and quietly bold.
Where our mid oak finish feels light and easy-going, espresso is all about depth. Think candlelit dinners, cosy nights in and rooms with a sense of occasion.
Depth that works with you
Dark wood can feel like a bold choice, but espresso is far more adaptable than you might expect. Its warm undertones give a room a sense of balance, whether your style leans bright and airy or moody and atmospheric.
- Light and fresh: set against white walls and soft neutrals, espresso adds striking contrast and gives the room a clear focal point.
- Warm and organic: pair it with terracotta, caramel, natural textures and lots of greenery for a laid-back, earthy feel.
- Rich and opulent: go bold with jewel-toned greens, deep navy or charcoal, which draw out the beautiful veining in the marble.
Already happy with your space? A single RIVA piece can lift a room you already love. A side table beside your favourite chair or a console table in the hallway adds a touch of refinement without a full redesign.

One Collection, Every Season
Espresso Dark Wood and marble make such a strong foundation that restyling is easy. A few simple swaps can take your RIVA pieces from one season to the next.
Autumn and Winter: embrace cosy layers. Drape a chunky knit throw over the sofa and pile on textured cushions in deep berry, burnt orange or olive which sit beautifully alongside the espresso finish. Cluster candles and seasonal greenery on the coffee table, and let soft, warm lighting bring out the marble’s natural pattern.
Spring and Summer: keep things light and breezy. Bring in woven baskets, natural linen and pale stoneware, with a vase of seasonal stems on the console or sideboard. Add a pop of colour through cushions or ceramics, and let the longer days of natural light show off the marble.
Your furniture stays put; it’s the details around it that do the changing.
Made for Everyday Living
RIVA is designed for real homes, from morning coffees to evenings with friends. Every piece is topped with solid Emperador marble that gives the whole collection its character. In Espresso Dark Wood, the range includes a coffee table, side table, console table, 4-seater dining table and 4-door sideboard. They all share the same finish, marble and soft, rounded design, so they sit beautifully together. Start with one piece and add to it over time for a look that feels complete.
Warm, grounded and full of personality, RIVA in espresso is the easiest way to bring a little depth into your home.
