Bombo, Leather Side Table by Nestor Perkal

Bombo, leather side table by Nestor Perkal It can also be used as a stool Dimensions: 55 x 40 x 40 cm Enamelled stoneware in three different colors, genuine Italian vegetable-tanned leather, colors as per available range, lace in natural color. Hand made in Pesaro, Italy Nestor Perkal created Bombo in that same spirit. Its name resounds like the beating of a drum; but the reference to Argentinian drums is far more than tongue-in-cheek. The fabrication process is complex. Like upturned jars, these hollow ceramic orbs are hand made, either turned or slip-cast, depending on their size. What follows is delicate: holes are punched in the yet unfred clay. Once the pieces are fred and glazed, the leather straps that ensure that the skin seat remain taut will be laced through them. Bombo is made exclusively in Pesaro, Italy. Bombo is the result of a fruitful encounter between leather and stoneware, a work of Trans-Alpine savoir-faire. The Bombo collection is extraordinarily versatile; the pieces can be used as coffee tables, side tables, tea tables or stools. With its warm and familiar shapes and soft colors – earth-brown, sky blue, terra cotta – Bombo fts gracefully into any decor – ready to “be of service” simply and beautifully.
