This modern furniture series is inspired by hispanic rock'n'roll and features classic colors and simple finishes.
This new range of furniture by Design duo Estudio Persona is based on the aesthetic of their native Uruguay.
The furniture series is like a discussion flows between functionality and sculpture, product and narrative, in order to create furniture that speaks both to space and to the body. The duo chose a palette of muted colors, natural materials and matte finishes for the designs, which is non-typical for Latin America but that was the purpose.
The collection includes the Una set, comprising a large wooden dining table with thick cylindrical legs and an accompanying chair, in either all-black or maple. The chair’s backrest matches the form of the table legs, but flipped 90 degrees and upholstered in leather. It is propped up on a wooden dowel, forming a T above the horseshoe-shaped seat.
A cylinder also features in the Puru side table, joining the ends of a folded, stainless steel section. The support comes with a burgundy lacquer, left as untreated wood, or as a limited-edition marbled peach resin finish.
Also among the designs is the Nido chair, available in several colors. A curved leather-upholstered shell creates both seat and back, placed on a base made up of two timber panels intersected as a cross.
Though the collection is peaceful, its shapes and some spirit around reminds of Latin America.
