The Rio Stool is the work of Massimo Castagna, a Milan-based designer whose practice centers on the conversation between raw material and resolved form. For Henge, a brand that approaches fabrication as an act of craft, Castagna distilled that sensibility into a piece of uncommon stillness. Wood and metal meet in a composition that reads as both spare and considered. The seat profile carries a quiet precision, while the structural elements beneath hold the piece in balance, visually and physically. Nothing is decorative for its own sake. Designed by Massimo Castagna for Henge Wood and metal construction with sculptural clarity Available in a curated selection of finishes Produced to order in Italy The Rio functions at a kitchen counter, a bar, or within a more intimate residential interior with equal ease. Its restraint is the point, and its presence is felt precisely because of it.
