TRIPTICUBE

Start Small. Grow Over Time.

Design: Alberto Pancotti and Juan David Menendez

TRIPTICUBE is a modular furniture system built on one idea: a small number of elements that can become almost anything. A perforated frame in fir or larch receives legs of different lengths, and by changing heights and combining modules the same pieces become a coffee table, a bookcase, a TV unit or a washbasin base. The system grows with the people who use it, from a single module to a complete composition, and moves from the home to hospitality and contract without changing its grammar.

The legs are the switch of register. In natural wood the system is warm and domestic; in polished chrome the same module turns sharp and urban. One product speaks to different markets.

TRIPTICUBE is designed for serial production, with standard modules, dedicated accessories, a range of finishes and a lean inventory for the manufacturer. The concrete vase COPPIA was first conceived as one of its accessories, before becoming an independent product.

In the 2015–2016 edition of Trentino Design 3.0, the jury chaired by Francesco Trabucco of Politecnico di Milano awarded the project an Ex-Aequo Mention in the Open Kit category, where no first prize was assigned. The prototype, built with Falegnameria Battisti in Rovereto, was then exhibited at Bologna Design Week 2017 and at Fuorisalone 2018 in the Lambrate Design District.
