Overview

The CUGINO, designed by Konstantin Grcic for Mattiazzi, is an expertly constructed wooden object that is ‘not a stool’ and ‘not a low table’, but could in fact be both – the 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. The CUGINO is made of fairly thick solid oak. The quality of the wood gives the stool its character and beauty.

Founded in 1979 by brothers Nevio & Fabiano, Mattiazzi is a wood workshop specializing in the production of top quality wooden chairs. Due to the combination of uncompromising design with high-quality processing during the last years, Mattiazzi has become a celebrated Premium brand.
