Designed by Mario Botta, Clessidra is a scented solid cedar stool worked from a single block. It is characterised by two hemispheres superimposed one on top of the other to form an hourglass. Published by the brand Riva 1920, the Clessidra stool is a magnificent piece that finds its place in every room of the house, also able to serve as a side table, end of sofa or bedside table. Because wood is a natural material, each stool is unique.
