RIVA Spain, a luxury flooring brand and leader in European wood manufacturing, is pleased to announce that RIVA MAX has been named a winner in The Architect’s Newspaper 2024 Best of Products Award. The latest engineered hardwood collection won the award for the Best of Finishes & Surfaces: Interior Flooring category.
RIVA MAX is a 100% European White Oak engineered hardwood flooring collection designed to elevate both commercial and residential interiors. Featuring 10-inch wide planks—a defining characteristic of the collection—the flooring offers a seamless and sophisticated hardwood aesthetic, perfect for creating continuity and enhancing natural beauty.
“I’m always drawn to a wide plank, and that’s what I appreciated here. The images were calming and beautiful,” said Carrie Norman, an Architect’s Newspaper Best of Products Awards judge and assistant professor in the Department of Architecture at MIT.
