– Barlovento stool – 

Barlovento

The Barlovento stool draws on traditional wooden boatbuilding, a craft in which wood is bent into efficient, streamlined shapes that make the most of its grain.

Boatbuilders created strong, light forms that unite beauty and function, shaped by the sea and the wind and by the need to use resources sparingly.

Awards

Barlovento was one of the three winners of Toca Madera 2020, a design competition for young designers in Spain organised by the American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC) with AIDI. Participants were asked to create an “infinite object”: a piece made to stand the test of time, in response to today’s throwaway culture. The winning pieces were exhibited at the Fernán Gómez cultural centre in Madrid in February 2020. Sources: Experimenta, Madera21.
