“pony” is the name of the new design by RelvãoKellermann for gumpo – an upholstered seat that will shortly add a new and dynamic family member to the normcore collection.
Unusual times require people to be open for new and unconventional ideas – for gumpo that meant a combination of seating and table. “pony” is the name of the new family member in the normcore collection that RelvãoKellermann has designed for gumpo. While the previous designs are characterized by a purist, architectural idiom, the new addition has a decidedly wilder look: An organically shaped upholstered seat that thanks to a flexible table top it offers a workplace for one person – or can be combined to form a group owing to its concealed castors. Into the creative process Ana Relvão and Gerhardt Kellermann then introduced the idea of bending the wood for the dynamic shape of “pony”. “We always seek to see the technology and craftsmanship of gumpo as the basis for new ideas,” explains Ana Relvão.
