Poh (Patchwork Oval Hemisphere)
from Cappellini
poh (patchwork oval hemisphere)
Design Raphael Navot, 2012
Solid American walnut exterior, poplar wood internal structure
Made in Italy by Cappellini
The Poh bench, designed by Raphael Navot, can also be used as a low table and consists of a patchwork of wooden pieces covered with solid natural American walnut. Every Poh bench is a unique object, sold as a numbered edition: in fact, the blocks of wood are manually assembled in a casual manner and then cut by a machine numerically, according to a model that is generated digitally by a computer.
Raphael Navot was born in Jerusalem in 1977. After having received his degree from the Design Academy of Eindhoven, in Holland, he decided to settle permanently in Paris. He is dedicated to expressing his creativity on multiple fronts, and likes to describe himself as a versatile designer with a multidisciplinary approach to the field and to the design process. For Cappellini, he has created a hybrid piece that can be transformed according to the needs of whoever is using or experiencing it. In his POH (Patchwork Oval Hemisphere) table or bench, Raphael Navot expresses his love for creative paths that break free from definitions or divisive constraints.
A table, a bench and a veritable sculpture: this piece has intentionally been left without a precise definition, in order to upend the premise, "form follows function" to "function follows form".
