Description
Overview
Torii Love is a console by Studiopepe for Tacchini. The torii, the traditional Japanese portals, are rediscovered in it through new functions and meanings.

The structure is glossy or matt lacquered MDF. Each lacquer type has 8 colour options, 16 in all.
Specifications
Overall size: 150 x 45 x 80 cm (W x D x H).
Story
The torii reinterpreted
In Torii Love, Studiopepe takes the torii, the traditional Japanese portals, and rediscovers them through new functions and meanings, here in the form of a console.
An architrave and two columns
A succession of distant visions and emotions gives way to essential elements that combine into an imposing physicality. A very thick top acts as an architrave, and two legs recall supporting columns. The structure is glossy or matt lacquered MDF.
