the entire universe is shaped from multiple connections that are arranged according to their capacity to give structure. unison is created between each contact point to establish a common balance. from this, the influence from ‘nodo’ was drawn: a furniture collection by mexican estudio pentagono consisting of a network with numerous connections that generate its structure and geometry.

‘nodo’ takes the essence from a classic piece of furniture and transforms it into a dynamic object completely made out of fiberglass. the interwoven fibers are not only designed to function as a structural component but to allow the piece to behave as a membrane, where communication between the environment and its context is encouraged. instead of a solid surface piece, this product has an open aesthetic, displaying its content in an honest manner while using little material and maintaining high structural resistance.
