The Rio Collection builds on my fundamental design language by working with honest materials and local artisans to achieve one-of-a-kind designs. For Punt I selected solid wood, structured glass, marble, textile and brass to create a collection of cabinets and lamps. Rio is about the balance of materials and the balance of proportions. The Rio sideboards have in common that they are all placed on solid marble cylinders. They provide stability and grandeur in contrast to the precise and finely crafted cabinets on top. The thin wooden frames and the push-to-open doors with different inlays like structured wood are a kind of bridge between the two pedestals. The dialogue between all the components creates a sophisticated character.
