A stool/table in oak wood CUGINO is an expertly constructed wooden object that is ‘not a stool’ and ‘not a low table’, but could in fact be both – CUGINO will find its use over time. Konstantin Grcic, who has a history in wood work, used the opportunity to experiment with the interplay of solidity and void to find a form that is open for interpretation, not given a function from the outset. It is not about structure, it is not about economy; it is a deliberate departure. It relies on Mattiazzi’s skill with complex joinery, construction and fine finishing. “CUGINO is the result of many tries; it happened over time, with wanting it to be an object that we don’t already know, but also something that is maybe a little bit familiar. “Konstantin Grcic “If I am being provocative, it’s in that Mattiazzi has a lot of technology and I ask them not to use it, because I don’t think it’s always necessary. To see what we can achieve without all the technology is important. “ Konstantin Grcic Oak of European origin and legal wood cutting Pine frame with FORBO Desktop® Linoleum seat
