PIRWI

Feature: Pirwi. In an effort to make a difference in human ecology, Pirwi is on the forefront of eco-conscious design. Pirwi, conceptualized by Emiliano Godoy, (whose knit chair I featured in an earlier post), is described as: "A platform to promote and distribute the great products coming out of young design firms in Mexico City, which previously had no way to reach international markets. Their products range broadly in materials and character but they all share a concern for sustainability, in environmental, social and economic terms." Pirwi represents the tenants of fair trade in contemporary furniture design. Although incredibly pricey, Pirwi furniture urges us all to think about the importance of design in terms of globalisation and consumption.

The SP1 Sofa is designed to include the generous proportions and comfort of a sleeper, with a minimal style and great visual lightness.
