There are also angular shelves inspired by the metal supports for trestle tables and U-shaped shelves which complement the black and white side tables.

New technology such as 3D cutting allowed the studio to localise production and the collection has been manufactured entirely in Spain.

Estudio Carme Pinós presents their first furniture collection

Named OBJECTS, it is composed of versatile pieces that are easy to assemble. The collection is sold exclusively on-line, has been manufactured entirely in Spain and features the architect’s flair for creating extremely light yet solid structures.

Barcelona, July, 2012.  Architect Carme Pinós has presented her collection OBJECTS, eleven pieces of furniture and shelving elements that are true to the spirit of the project – functional, attractive pieces at an accessible price.

According to Pinós, the project was born out of her - and her friends - everyday needs. With this as a starting point, her studio started working on a wardrobe that “hung on the wall in order to give a feeling of spaciousness”, a shelf that “could also be used to hang clothes on, like you sometimes see in a guest room” and “trestle supports, like you see used with typical trestle tables, but incorporated into an bookshelf.”

During the presentation, Pinós commented that she has also drawn from early 20th century designers by applying new technology, such as cutting in 3D. In this way, she has been able to localize production and the pieces can be transported and assembled with ease.

The OBJECTS are sold exclusively online through the web: www.objects.es. In addition, the pieces can be viewed at the Objects showroom in Barcelona’s Gràcia neighborhood (C/ Sant Pere Mártir, 28). Pinós aims to increase the collection with additional pieces from diverse design fields, such as a versatile bag and an original salt dispenser.
