One of the most impressive buildings SESC Pompéia (Sao Paulo), by Italian-Brazilian brutalist architect Lina Bo Bardi, was the origin of the side tables “Windows of Bo Bardi”. As an investigation in shapes, the windows of this building have organic shapes, a diverse rhythm of openings in the concrete building, reflected in the side tables of destroyers/builders. They are the positive shapes of the negative window openings. Building further on the series Windows of Bo Bardi – side tables, the new light yellowish version is taking one step further in a primitive way of making things. The light-yellow color is a natural color of wood dust. This dust is a left-over of the sanding of wood, and is used in the coating of the stool/side table, which reminds of a butter-like texture.
