KIITOS DESIGN AT NUDE´08
Starts in 2003 as a non-profit organization, covering activities such as product and furniture design, as well as organizing and interior designing exhibitions.
March 2007 Kiitos Design stablished as a creative studio. The association gives way to the company.
Ana Pérez Aguilar and Eva del Cotillo Contrí are running Kiitos Design today.
Our activity is Industrial Design, touching fields from furniture to interior design. Nowadays, our interests are those of an Industrial Design team: not just sticking to mere aesthetics, but looking for solutions to find a cleaner, more ecological, easier world; and in this sense, more beautiful.
Felt protective tablecloths
Made in contrasted colours felt. Upper layer is cut and joins the lower making one piece. Feel the textures, feel at home, feel yourself back at grandma’s…
Feel, felt, felt.
Felt cloths and rugs are inspired on those crochet table cloths that our grandma’s used to make and put everywhere. The protective function is still valuable, whilst its shape and view have been revisited. Felt are made out of coloured wool, in 1 mm layers for the tablecloths.
Roof carpet
Soft felt tiles give shape to a carpet made to dream or walk barefoot, to feel the warmth of wool in the coldest winter evenings. It suggests the idea of having a roof of our own, to look at the stars or the moon just inside of our living room. Wool felt gives resistance and durability to this carpet of soft and pleasant shapes.6 mm pieces are layered in a two-pitched roof. A soft and nice roof where to feel catlike. Roof is made in greyish blue for northern roofs and in dark orange for mediterranean ones.
Luigi flowerpot & candleholder
Stockable piece Luigi allows users to pass a flower through it as long as needed by adding more or less items. On the same time, the cuts on its base are not casual but are thought to hold a candle on them. Luigi can be rearranged at every moment to meet the needs of the user.
The Big Piece room divider
The big piece grows as much as needed, giving an organic and irregular look to the spaces. Three modular pieces on double corrugated cardboard, match like in a puzzle, so it’s simple to build a divider in minutes. The same plane can be generated in horizontal; this increases the constructive possibilities.
The big piece is specially interesting for ephemeral spaces, being cardboard an ecological and cheap material.
With the waste generated by the big piece, leftovers is created , a lamp with lots of little cardboard pieces that remind us the old classics in gold and crystal, but in a more accessible version.
This couple philosophizes about use and waste products of today, and how we use long life materials to get tired of our furniture in few years. Please remember to recycle yours in the paper waste container.
Taxi stools
The woolen felt balls upholstery for these stools is inspired in the taxi drivers massage seats, typical at least in Spain. The base was mechanized with a numerical control machine in a soft material for the prototype, but it can be made of wood, plastic or iron with different techniques.
This kind of upholstery gives the softnes of the inner foam and of the outer fabric in only one material, a natural one: wool.
Space Nude 2008
As well as furniture and objects, we like to work with ephemeral architecture. In nude08, we’ve tried to generate a neutral ambience in which every one of the 34 different projects was well supported by the space. On the other hand we wanted to give a touch, something that turned visitors heads towards the young designers’ space. That’s the reason of the magenta lines around every greyscale space.
Nude meeting point, in the center of the whole nude08, was a square thought to enjoy the talks organized by Lladró during the fair. The softblocks used as walls, improve the sound inside the square, avoiding every noise from the corridor. The mountain of cubes can be seen from far, announcing the space.
