DAM WINS POPS, OF SERRALVES, WITH PIPO

July 17, 2014

The traditional wood cask characteristic of Portuguese wine culture inspired the creativity of the designers Hugo Silva and Joana Santos, who created Pipo, a small and easily transportable stool or side table, made from expanded insulation corkboard supplied by Amorim Cork Insulation and hemp rope.

The project won a POPs prize (Original Portuguese Projects) in the furniture category, an initiative of the Serralves Store that is now in its 6th edition. Pipo was specially designed for this competition, as tribute to the Douro demarcated region and the city of Porto. The mobility of the product is associated with the commercial expansion of wine. This piece is the first product in cork presented by DAM, a furniture brand from S. João da Madeira. The use of expanded insulation corkboard gives the product a light and non-slip touch.
