Farewell to Italian architect Umberto Riva

Farewell to Milanese architect and designer Umberto Riva, appreciated for his interior and design projects, in which the search for a form was always accompanied by an intimate reflection on living. The architect was also known for his projects of museum installations, in which he always succeeded to create an intimate dialogue between the works, the exhibition space and the curatorial narration. A complete and recent portrait of the architect was offered by the film entitled “Umberto Riva”, curated by Francesca Molteni and Claudia Adragna and produced by Muse Factory of Projects. The film was presented on the occasion of the “Forme: Umberto Riva, architetto designer ” (Forms: Umberto Riva, architect designer) exhibition held at the Fondazione Sozzani in Milan in 2019. Outside Italy, the Centre Canadien d'Architecture in Montréal dedicated an exhibition to the artist in 2014-2015.
