"Restel is an entryway piece that functions as both a bench and a hanging structure, made from Trentino Larch, a wood native to the Alpine region that gives the piece a warmth and texture you can almost feel through a photograph."
"The design logic behind Restel is clean and honest, with a hay rake's tines transformed into hooks and structure, organizing coats, bags, and the general chaos of a front entryway."
"For years, the dominant trend in home interiors leaned toward minimal and abstract, stripping objects of any cultural or regional identity in favor of clean lines that could sell anywhere on the planet."
Restel, designed by Monica Graffeo, transforms the concept of furniture by drawing inspiration from traditional Alpine hay rakes. This entryway piece serves as both a bench and a hanging structure, crafted from Trentino Larch to provide warmth and texture. Collaborating with a local carpentry firm, Graffeo emphasizes regional craftsmanship. The design mirrors the functionality of the hay rake, organizing entryway items while challenging the trend of minimalism that often strips away cultural identity in furniture design.
