In the ever-evolving world of luxury furniture and tableware, PINTO stands out as a beacon of innovation and creativity. For the Winter 2023-2024 collection, PINTO introduces the breathtaking Shibari sofa and footstool, designed under the artistic direction of Fahad Hariri and Pietro Scaglione.
Rooted in Japanese Tradition
Drawing inspiration from Japan’s rich heritage of traditional arts and craftsmanship, the Shibari sofa and footstool are the epitome of contemporary design. Alberto Pinto, the brand’s founder, had always been intrigued by Japan’s age-old expertise, and under the guidance of Hariri and Scaglione, this inspiration has been given a daring and subversive twist.
The Art of Shibari
The collection’s name, Shibari, pays homage to the Japanese art of bondage and intricate rope tying. This art form finds new life in the Shibari sofa, where midnight-blue ropes weave asymmetrically to envelop the soft, sensual contours of the seating and backrest. Accompanying the sofa is a generous footstool that serves multiple functions – from footrest to seating and even an impromptu coffee table.
French Craftsmanship at Its Finest
Crafted in one of Paris’s most esteemed workshops for high-quality chair manufacturing, the Shibari sofa is a testament to French craftsmanship. Its intricate design and meticulous construction require hundreds of hours of work to achieve a flawless finish, making it a true technical marvel.
PINTO’s Winter 2023-2024 collection is a testament to the brand’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of creativity while upholding the highest standards of craftsmanship. With the Shibari sofa as its centerpiece, PINTO continues to captivate the world of luxury furniture and tableware.
