Four surfaces were created to define the overall volume of the project: the kitchen surface, the showroom surface, the working surface and the workshop surface.
Construction workers used to build a small stool made with 4 or 5 pieces of wood. Its shape and size can vary slightly, but it's always something simple, basic and crude.
Manolito is a reinterpretation, a synthesis of these objects led to the domestic sphere. The result is a very simple object without a clear function. It is a small bookcase unit, a stool, a small table, or a step to easily reach higher areas.
AOO
A project together with Oriol Villar from 2013 to 2020.
AOO was many things, but after all was a small and independent design company with the aim of making high-quality and honest wood furniture.
Wood was the starting point for our pieces, for several reasons; for its smell, its warmth, its human scale when working with it, but above all for being the most direct material you can find in nature.
