About the Work
The Aquarama, a wooden speedboat designed by Carlo Riva, has become an icon of Italian design and is celebrated in the Riva Aquarama book, edited by Assouline, for its 60th anniversary. This runabout speedboat is known for its clean lines, mahogany, glistening chrome details, and robin’s egg-blue and cream upholstery, reflecting the optimism of early-‘60s Italy. The Aquarama is beloved by movie stars, royalty and heads of state, and enthusiasts alike for its mythical status and fiercely beloved owners. The book, authored by Michael Verdon, tells the story of the legendary boat and its charm, and is presented in a luxury mahogany box that expresses the beauty of the Aquarama’s magnificent hull. The special edition of the book offers owners, collectors, and enthusiasts a piece of the Riva dream.
