ꓘUBO
ꓘUBO It is a sculptural chair conceived from the decomposition of a cube into independent structural elements.
The project merges the functional rationality of the Bauhaus with the playful and chromatic language of the Memphis movement, resulting in a piece where color, geometry and function are integrated into a single composition.





One structure. Multiple configurations.
KUBO's modularity allows you to modify the relationship between its components without altering the object's identity.
Through the displacement and reorganization of its elements, the piece moves between different functions and compositions.
Rather than adding functions, the system proposes a new way of understanding the relationship between structure, movement, and use.

Color as an expression
of the structure.
Its chromatic identity establishes a dialogue between the compositional principles of the Bauhaus and the experimental character of the Memphis movement.
The red, yellow, green, and natural oak distinguish the components of the system, making its constructive organization visible.
From the cube to its elements.
The design process starts from an elementary geometry that is fragmented into planes, volumes, and independent components.
Each element retains its own formal identity and participates in the construction of a system that can be reorganized.


From concept to object
KUBO was developed and materialized in Mexico City as part of a research process in furniture design and production carried out at CENTRO.
Its full-scale fabrication allowed for the exploration of relationships between geometry, materiality, joints, and movement, transforming formal research into a functional piece.
The result is an object that combines constructive precision, experimentation, and sculptural expression.

Form beyond object
The KUBO poster is a graphic extension of the project that translates its geometry, color and composition to the two-dimensional plane.
Inspired by the Bauhaus and Memphis movement, it establishes a dialogue between furniture design and graphic design, exploring the same visual identity in different formats.
