Story
A hybrid piece with a tablet
Ontario is a tribute to the designers Pauline Deltour and Pierre Paulin. It is a functional hybrid piece of furniture that lets the user create their own usage scenario: a mix between relevance and softness, pedestal table and stool, armrest and trinket pot.
Scrap wood and leather
Ontario took first prize in the Cinna 2022 competition. The brief asked for a virtuous product made from industrial offcuts, within a short circuit, and the solid wood and leather taken from scrap make Ontario particularly poetic and virtuous. The leather strap serves as a handle, held by two flanged screws.
