    Press release  :   PIAVAL

    Pipe / Design Studio Garcia Cumini

    02/08/2018

    The search for sober and contemporary elegance is the key to interpret the Pipe chair, designed by the designers Vicente Garcìa and Cinzia Cumini for Piaval. Pipe transcodes an object of ancient tradition, the pipe, which in the collective imagination is a symbol of refinement, reflective attitude but also of a cultured and aggregating sociality and a capacity to taste life slowly, drawing satisfaction from what is beautiful.

     

    A symbolism that the duo Garcìa Cumini recalls through the sinuous form of the project and the nobility of the material in which it is realized, the solid beech wood. The most immediate evocative reminder, however, is the ring that separates and joins the back leg of the seat to the element that rises to support the backrest. A sign of strong decorative and identity
    value that in Pipe also fulfils an important structural function and nderlines a junction that is the result of bold technological research.

     

    Pipe expresses a formal evolution also in the total absence of beams, a choice that gives the chair a great formal lightness and an apparent simplicity compensated by a technological device, hidden in the structure of the upholstered seat, which guarantees its solidity. Or again, in the essentiality of the backrest, which draws a soft curve and is at the
    same time comfortable, enveloping and resistant. Manifesto of a "slow design" that represents the design philosophy of the studio Garcìa
    Cumini, like a good pipe destined to last the whole life, Pipe is a cultured project of great formal coherence, expression of a sober and timeless elegance.

     

    The chair is available in a refined range of wood types with contrasting joining rings. The seat is characterized by a skillful padding that promotes the correct dissipation of body weight and is covered in fabric or leather, according to a tailoring process that is distinguished by the culture of detail and quality of materials. Like all Piaval models, Pipe can be customized in an infinite number of combinations, to meet the specific requirements of the contract project.
