Defined by its solid geometry and monolithic presence, the piece functions as both a side table and a stool, combining architectural character with everyday versatility.
Its distinctive silhouette is shaped by a series of arched openings that recall the porticoes, gateways, and stone structures found throughout ancient Mediterranean civilizations. As light passes through these openings, shadows are concentrated within the central void, creating a subtle interplay between mass and emptiness, solidity and lightness.
Rooted in a brutalist yet timeless aesthetic, Portico celebrates the beauty of simple forms, honest materials, and enduring craftsmanship. The design transforms a functional object into an architectural element, bringing rhythm, depth, and sculptural presence to contemporary interiors.
Designed by Josep Vila Capdevila, founder and creative director of Aparentment, Portico draws inspiration from the ancient cultures that shaped the foundations of Western architecture and aesthetics. The piece embodies Aparentment's vision of the Cold Mediterranean: a dialogue between history and modernity, where timeless forms are reinterpreted through a contemporary lens.
Crafted in Spain and produced in limited quantities with meticulous attention to detail. See less
