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 woodwork, 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 the economy; it is a deliberate departure. It relies on skill with complex joinery, construction, and fine finishing.
