When Zocalo designers Jorge Jaramillo and Margaret Leigh set out to design furniture for those hungry for mid-century pieces, they decided not to copy or reproduce the classics, but to reinterpret them.
Two of those lines were introduced in 2005 but who had just arrived in stores Echo and Otto, bedroom, dining room and accent furniture that follows what Jaramillo refers to as the "ethos" of the mid-century design.
Part of that characteristic is the desire to experiment with new materials, the two San Francisco designer, using bamboo for Echo lines and materials that can be recycled polyweave resembles rattan for Otto.
The veneer the front of the Echo's cabinet using plywood sheets with a layer of bamboo, making them easy to bend. Section fronts using bamboo grain direction to great effect. They also bent into a curve at some point to create a pull handle, providing "a certain depth of the piece," Jaramillo said.
He said that he refused to look at other reinterpretations of modernism, but studying the original works by Ray and Charles Eames and others before going to work, preferring to not second-guess the outcome.
Jaramillo incorporated into the base complete contrast from many of his pieces, the other characteristics of the Middle Ages, the case provides a good "air, an increase feelings."
Important function as usual at the dinner table with a clever circular edge of the fold again to create a square table.
Otto line emphasizes the idea of material durable outdoor, which polyweave, with its use in the room, a very contemporary trend, Jaramillo said.
And then there was the price. Starting with $ 150 for two-rack Nightstands for $ 1099 for cabinets, these items affordable.
