The Design

About Cotton Spate Consola expositora

Cotton Spate es una consola expositora diseñada para una tienda efímera. La consola presenta un número reducido de productos para que la atención permanezca en cada pieza. Su forma se inspira en los campos de flores de algodón Pima orgánico que crecen junto a un lago en Perú. Una superficie ondulada tridimensional de color blanco sostiene delgadas placas metálicas circulares que soportan los artículos. La parte ondulada es de espuma de alta densidad modelada a mano a partir de un modelo digital, y las placas son de metal pintado en blanco. El mostrador y el cerramiento exterior están fabricados en madera. El espacio de almacenamiento se sitúa bajo la superficie ondulada.
