Summary
- Kiki Goti Studio’s “Bells and Whistles” collection explores the essential character of non-essential features
- The furniture is anchored by a bell motif cast in aluminum with each piece also featuring discreet drawers with knobs shaped like miniature whistles
Kiki Goti Studio recently presented its “Bells and Whistles” collection at the COLLECTIBLE Fair, within the Main Section of TORO Manifesto. Designed for a gallery in Mexico City, the collection explores the role of decorative elements in furniture. Inspired by the phrase “bells and whistles,” it both questions and appreciates ornamentation, turning traditionally decorative details into central features and showing how embellishment can be essential, not just extra.
The central design element throughout the collection is a bell shape. These forms, crafted from cast aluminum, serve as both the legs for pieces like armchairs, coffee tables, and cabinets, and as a tribute to traditional bell-making techniques. Just as molten metal creates lasting, beautiful bells, this collection emphasizes enduring quality and skilled craftsmanship.
The sculpted legs are paired with cleverly hidden drawers in surprising places, and the drawer pulls are designed as tiny whistles – a fun nod to the collection’s name. Made from walnut, lacquered wood, and cast aluminum, each piece combines usefulness with elegant, artistic detail.
