What starts with an underlying functional form in the work of artist Pablo Reinoso
often gets carried away as his furniture pieces begin to take on lives
of their own. The crawling tendrils and stretched figures that emerge
are rendered all the more exotic by his defiant use of hard wood with
soft organic forms. This designer is perhaps most well known for his remarkable wooden
spaghetti benches in which the normal ends of wood slats become the
beginning of a seemingly living form that twists and turns away from the
conventional shape of the bench itself – and just imagine what an
outdoor version of this bench would look like against, for example, an
ivy-covered brick wall.
