Sin Título-1
Born from the context of "Hasta el Cuerno" in Mexico City, this stool represents our distinct contribution to a broader dialogue curated by Luis Eslava with Carles Novell and Sin Título-1. Our design pursues a quiet logic, where form emerges directly from material and assembly.
The stool is an exercise in essentiality: its strength is derived from interlocking planes of red plywood. The materials' stratified edges echo the very essence of the cuerno, as a textural homage. The bold, saturated red serves as both a statement and an anchor within the space.
To round it off, a subtle circular recess is carved into the seat, a detail that does more than meet the eye. It offers a visual key to the structure beneath, transforming the top surface into a sneak-peek of its own support. This is a stool that reveals its making, where construction becomes ornament.
