About Diogo Pinelli
Makuko is a small furniture design studio. The name Makuko comes from the native people of Brazil. The way they express themselves through painting and transform nature into a functional living environment forms the basis of our design inspiration. We are inspired by nature, animals, architecture and cultures from all over the world – but our development process begins on the smallest scale. We experiment with our hands, playing with forms, angles and perspectives until we reach the ideal shape.

- At the first glance the Stalk side table convinces with its simplicity and hidden sophistication.

Whether as a single piece or as a modular part of a very individual arrangement of side tables.
- Inspiration
- We are inspired by nature, animals, architecture and cultures from all over the world. But our development process begins on the smallest scale. We experiment with our hands, playing with forms, angles and perspectives until we reach the ideal shape. With aesthetics given equal importance to functionality and stability. Our purpose is to create pieces that challenge existing shapes, transforming them into simple but durable new designs.
