Story
Far East and West in one piece
Mauro Lipparini states that "A dialogue between the Far East and the West is established within Kukei". Aesthetic and philosophical principles and geometric echoes flow into a design with sober and refined shapes.
A composition that stays personal and dynamic
Lipparini designed Kukei in 2023 as a timeless piece of furniture. In its microcosm it interprets a personal, dynamic and ever-changing composition, in line with contemporary living.
