Assouline Riva Aquarama – O/S

Riva Aquarama by Assouline. When it comes to glamour and high style on the seas, there’s nothing more captivating than the Aquarama. Dreamed up by the legendary Carlo Riva, the run-about wooden speedboat has become an icon of Italian design and the  Riva Aquarama  book, edited by Assouline, celebrates its 60th Anniversary. Beloved for its clean lines, mahogany, glistening chromedetails and signature robin’s egg-blue and cream upholstery, the Aquarama reflected la dolce vita optimism of early-‘60s Italy; it’s impossible to picture the glittering Côte d’Azur and coasts of Europe without visions of endless summers spent lounging on the back of the boat in the warm summer sun, and the gentle roar of the engine as the Aquarama cuts through the surf.
