“Pico’s” lounge chair is the result of a symbiosis between the past and the present. Striving to achieve both a minimal yet sculptural form through the exploration of the restraints and opportunities of tradition wicker weaving. The initial gesture is a vertex that slowly extends to comfortably surround and embrace the human body. It is light, stackable and blends itself with the landscape, while breathing fresh air.
Designed by Miguel Soeiro and handcrafted by Fernando Nelas. “Pico” is the result of a residency program organized by Passa Ao Futuro within the context of their exhibition “Hundreds of Baskets – A sustainable technology for the 21st Century” at the Popular Art Museum in Lisbon.
This residency was sponsored by Esporão.
