designopatagonia: matero stool
'matero' stool in goat skin and lenga wood, 35cm height and stackable
image by manu rapoport
during the [d3] design talents at imm cologne 2010, manu rapoport and martin sabattini
from designo-patagonia presented furniture designs made from stone, wood and leather.
both the design and the choice in materials is a reflection of the history and craftmanship
inherent to the area of patagonia and showcases their respect for the natural and human
resources unique to this region.
design-patagonia has created an endless number of products from complete office furniture
sets to simple toys using these basic materials and also involve themselves in projects interested
in social and environmental sustainability. this includes work that uses recycled materials whereby
they collaborated with the local craft sector and developed design concepts for public spaces.

'ehr' coat stand allows for customized measures with fastening devices for ceiling and floor
or with an independent foot. the stick is made of maple wood, an exotic species which is very
invasive in the region. turned pieces made of cypress discarded branches work as hangers.

among other works, designo-patagonia has been selected to be part of the
british european design group (BEDG) special feature 'designing for a greener future'.
Although I must say that if form follows function, the invasive tree coat hangers are a great design piece. As for the stools- what the????? I think I saw a contest on a DIY network that had more interesting design properties.
To each his own.
i still like the patagonia version and the coat stand
