The design furniture collection Bum Bum, designed by Eugeni Quitllet for Vondom, was born from the principle of not designing objects, but rather musical instruments to be used for another purpose. The same as a person who holds a shell to our ear to hear the ocean. This collection that has tubular shapes allows us to experiment with light and sound simultaneously. Its “Argonautic” form enables us to create a new environment, as well as atmospheric spaces, wherever we are. The Bum Bum collection is made up of a sofa, a table, an armchair, and a “toro”, a unique member with a great variety of functions. It is a collection designed for the God of the sea, Neptune, and the mermaids that dance in time with the waves. It’s that simple, a summer dream.
Love the concept. Fun, whimsical, cute. Entirely non-functional. All that is fine. Less fine: the quality is junk! The molding has flashing left on at the parting line and there are little chunks missing. Poor quality production of a cute concept. For the money, I was expecting better. And because it’s so smooth and such an object, these defects really stand out visually more-so than, say, a chair that you sit in and stop looking at.. Anonymous. Thu Jul 18 2024
