Rio Cupboard

The Rio collection is based on my fundamental design language working with honest materials and local craftsmen to achieve unique designs. For Punt I selected solid wood, structured glass, marble, textile and brass to create a collection of cabinets and lamps. Rio is about the balance of materials and the balance of proportions. The Rio cabinets have in common that they are all placed on solid marble cylinders. They provide stability and grandeur in contrast to the precise and fine crafted cabinets on top. The Rio lamps use the same principle. Like sails of a boat the three lampshades are resting on the marble cylinders. The sails are done in textile or brass with a decorative pattern of holes.
