The design of the Canal table by Riva 1920 is inspired by the ancient spaces of ecclesiastical refectories, where religious congregations used to eat their meals in a communal manner, arranged in a horseshoe so that all the diners could sit facing each other without the head of the table.
Marking its longitudinal axis is a beam as long as the wooden top and partially recessed to act as a storage pocket for everything needed to eat a meal and more. At the end of the Canal table by Riva 1920, the beam changes function and becomes a handle to allow the table to be moved with agility in space.
Designed by Patricia Urquiola for Riva 1920, it is made in the new version in solid briccola wood, with a top with glued strips and square sides. Thanks to the timeless charm of wood and linear shapes, the Canal table by Riva 1920 fits perfectly in any living room or kitchen.
