If any piece can be so eloquent and minimalistic in it’s expression of wine inspired design it is the “Pipo” by Portuguese designers Hugo Silva and Joana Santos.
Shaped in the form of wine barrel, “Pipo” stool doubles as a side table as well. In reference to natural materials used in wine production – barrel shaped piece is made from natural agglomerated black cork, “spiced-up” with a touch of color hemp rope.
We strongly believe that “genius is in simplicity” and it seems that Hugo and Joana duo are well versed in this language of laconic eloquence.
Pipo measurements:
W15” x D15” x H18′
W38 x D38 x H45 cm
Rope Colors:
Natural
Avid Yellow
