A vertical structure of which the pedestal constitutes a small component of the entire object.
Drawing inspiration from the type of skyscraper furniture born around the 1960s, Birdie is configured as a sequence of different and well-defined functional elements that, placed side by side and stacked, form an irregular column of geometric shapes. The result visually evokes the image of a block construction in which the individual modules retain a distinct identity, also thanks to the use of different wood essences such as maple, cherry, and Canaletto walnut.
Consisting of blocks with different functions — a storage element, a support surface, a mirror, the pedestal designed to support and hang objects, and, finally, two other storage elements. Just as in block constructions, Birdie can be disassembled and divided into 3 interchangeable modules thanks to a threaded central support and cubes that serve as stops, allowing for the transformation and customization of the furniture to adapt it to individual habits and preferen- ces.
