Price History
Description
Released in celebration of Riva 1920's centenary, this edition of Renzo and Matteo Piano's Voltri Dining Chair is crafted entirely using solid walnut wood. Walnut was chosen to celebrate this important milestone in Riva's history thanks to its premium quality. An oil and wax finish protects the solid wood whilst letting its natural colour shine through.
Our Stylist Says
I love this piece for its timeless simplicity and craftsmanship-perfect for adding warmth and natural texture to both modern and traditional interiors. The walnut finish lends a rich, understated elegance, making it versatile enough to sit comfortably in Scandi, mid-century, or contemporary settings. When styling, consider pairing it with minimalistic tableware and soft textiles to enhance its sleek silhouette, or dress it down with relaxed, tactile accessories for a more casual look. Practical tips include using it around a dining table with statement lighting above or in a breakfast nook for a cohesive, inviting space. Its sturdy design and natural wood finish mean it works well in both formal dining rooms and everyday kitchen areas.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
