Design Konstantin Grcic,2019
Oak of European origin and legal wood cutting
Made in Italy by Mattiazzi®
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
