Cedo Console

A console made from thin planes of brushed aluminium. A slim top rests on a single straight leg at one end and, at the other, on an angled panel that cuts across a second leg. Seen from the side, the panels seem to fold rather than stand, which gives a solid piece an unexpected lightness. It was first designed for a 19th-century guesthouse in Porto, where its cool, reflective surfaces play against the ornate plasterwork and soft furnishings of the rooms. Versatile by design, it works equally well as a console or a desk.
