Riva Aquarama book

When it comes to glamour and style at sea, nothing rivals the Aquarama. Designed by the legendary Carlo Riva, this wooden runabout outboard has become an icon of Italian design, and the book "Riva Aquarama", published by Assouline, celebrates its 60th anniversary. Loved for its clean lines, mahogany, bright chrome details and Robin's iconic egg-and-cream blue upholstery, the Aquarama reflected the optimism of Italy's dolce vita in the early '60s. It's impossible to imagine the glittering Côte d'Azur and European coasts without visions of endless summers spent lounging at the stern of the boat under the warm summer sun, and the gentle roar of the engine as the Aquarama splits the waves.
