Santiago

Santiago was inspired by Tobia Scarpa’s experience of a pilgrimage along the route of that name which crosses France and Spain.
The long rods in ash complete with terminals take the form of the “crosier” staff and the characteristic sticks used by pilgrims as a “walking aid”.

Santiago has no screws and nails. The five rods making up the structure are held together by mechanical joints, made solely with solid wood elements, meaning that the clothes stand can be easily disassembled and assembled.

The central joint and the bag hooks are in walnut. To be more precise, the base of the trunk, commonly called burl wood, was used because it contains fibres that are bent and twisted, giving the wood not only a formal beauty but also hardness and compactness.
All the elements have been treated with natural beeswax.
