Pomo: A Hypnotic Sideboard Inspired by Conceptual Design

A Unique Blend of Form and Function

Inspired by the movement of conceptual design, Florian Gross has created Pomo, a visually captivating sideboard that combines two plywood panels to create a mesmerizing Moiré effect. The sinuous shape of the knobs adds to the visual game, generating a striking impact on the viewer.

Pomo is not your ordinary sideboard. It is a piece of art that transcends traditional design boundaries. With its subtle geometric style and elegant character, Pomo hides and reveals its door knobs and drawers, creating a visual game that engages and captivates. Its hypnotic presence adds a unique personality to any space it occupies.

What sets Pomo apart is its limited edition availability and the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into its creation. Made from FSC certified plywood, Pomo is a result of a combination of three different woods. The plywood panels are fixed in place and CNC mechanized with fine craftsmanship, paying attention to every detail of the knob pieces.

With dimensions of 1530mm in width, 460mm in depth, and 730mm in height, Pomo is a statement piece that demands attention. Its unique design and impeccable execution make it a standout in the world of furniture design.

Florian Gross and David Farell, the creative minds behind Pomo, wanted to push the boundaries of design by using plywood to create visual layers of natural wood tones. The result is a stunning visual effect that exudes elegance and sophistication.

The Pomo sideboard project took six months to complete and was realized in Terrassa, Barcelona. During the design process, the team conducted extensive research into the conceptual design movement, aiming to encapsulate its essence in a piece that is both visually striking and subtly elegant.

Pomo was not without its challenges. The team aimed to create a design that would not only be visually appealing but also challenge the user's perception and interaction with the piece. By hiding and revealing the door knobs and drawers, Pomo invites users to engage with the design in a way that goes beyond the ordinary.

Pomo is a contemporary masterpiece that embodies the spirit of conceptual design. Its unique visual game and elegant character make it a standout piece in any space. With its limited edition availability, Pomo is a true collector's item that combines art, design, and functionality in a mesmerizing way.
