We like to design objects that could suggest people
different functions or spontaneous behaviors.
Mate is an hybrid object,
silent, almost shy
when empty can also be a sculpture and can be placed in different areas within the house.
This project was born from the idea
that we could have something that was not necessarily a chair,
or simply a coat rack, a coin-tray or a shelf
but an object that could merge all these in one.
In our studio there is an artist easel that we use to
hang our coats, hats and place other things.
I often tried to sit on it
when taking off my shoes or boots...
so from this object, and the improper use
that often we do of different items, originally designed
for other purpouses, we came up with
this process, where several functions meet
to give a proper answer to all the needs
that we had already identified with our artist easel.
It was really nice how the project was born
with Living Divani.
When we proposed the idea
the first reaction was
"Nice, I'd want it in my own house!"
in our opinion, for a designer,
this is the nicest thing
that you could hear.
