"We currently live in a world of overarching technology and incessant optimization. Beholden to the digital feedback we receive, technology's rapid evolution greatly outpaces our understanding of its implications. Bells & Whistles by designer Kiki Goti - a five-piece collection realized in collaboration with the studio and collectible design gallery Toro Manifesto - stands in opposition to this paradigm providing a bountiful sense of tactility and expert use of material on display."
"Wavy brushed aluminum, deeply lacquered wood, and sculptural handles all combine to create a cohesive yet quite surprising range. The melding of seemingly disparate elements evokes a sophisticated yet endearing, whimsical feeling that screens cannot provide. Vintage sensibilities steer this collection in the best direction. The wood used throughout the works retains a deep hue and boasts a high-gloss finish reminiscent of sculptural tables and eye-popping plastics from the seventies."
Bells and Whistles is a five-piece collection realized with Toro Manifesto that prioritizes tactility and material craft over digital optimization. Wavy brushed aluminum, deeply lacquered wood, and sculptural handles form a cohesive range that blends disparate elements into a sophisticated yet whimsical aesthetic. The wood retains a deep hue and high-gloss finish recalling seventies sculptural tables and plastics. Taupe upholstery on the armchair establishes strong style while its flat texture contrasts the wood and flared metal legs. Metal elements serve multiple uses as legs and lamp shades, while small metallic accents reference larger aluminum surfaces for cohesive design intelligence.
