Kiade

Shop Kiade handcrafted scale model boats and luxury Riva replica yachts

The story of Kiade begins in France with a passion for nautical excellence, precision engineering, and fine craftsmanship. Bridging the gap between fine jewelry making and naval architecture, the French workshop transforms historic and contemporary boat designs into extraordinary works of display art. Working directly with original shipyard plans and official license agreements from world-famous marine brands—such as Riva, Chris-Craft, Bénéteau, Jeanneau, and Prestige Yachts—Kiade ensures every curve, deck detail, and proportion is faithfully reproduced. The creation of each scale model requires dozens of hours of meticulous hand-assembly, applying up to ten coats of high-gloss varnish to achieve a flawless, glass-like finish on the wooden hull.

Exploring the Kiade collection at Rustan’s online offers collectors, interior design enthusiasts, and maritime aficionados access to a distinguished range of handcrafted vessel replicas. The collection features legendary runabouts like the Riva Aquarama, sleek modern powerboats, and iconic sailing yachts. Built entirely without plastic, every boat utilizes high-grade mahogany, teak, hand-stitched marine upholstery, and custom-cast chrome-plated brass hardware for authentic metallic shine and weight. Whether displayed as a statement centerpiece in a living room, executive office, or coastal lounge, a Kiade model serves as a timeless tribute to sea-faring luxury and European artisan craftsmanship.
