Pedro, a sculptural microcement ice bucket

Pedro is a bottle bucket stand that combines design, art and architecture. Innovating by using a construction material into product design.
This functional sculpture completes the mise-en-place ritual and combines usability and aesthetics, turning every space in a holistic experience.

ODE to the object that is considered purely functional, highlighting its aesthetic side to turn it into an object of desire.
Pedro is a functional sculpture with its own soul that comes to life around your table, achieving the perfect marriage between design and gastronomy.

Pedro was born out of the gap in form and function I perceived when going to design restaurants on numerous occasions, which paid careful attention to both the menu and the interior design in detail, trying to offer a complete experience based on the confluence of gastronomy and design, but whose balance was broken by a fundamental and necessary element, the ice bucket.

Although we live surrounded by design, there are still objects that remain in the background totally unrelated to the style of the space, even though we use them every day as part of our daily rituals, and Pedro came to change that.

Pedro is a micro-cement ice bucket with an aluminium core that not only aims to blend ergonomics and design, but also takes architectural design to a small scale.

From the architectural point of view, in addition to the material, it is necessary to highlight the spatial geometry; a ribbed vault whose structure is formed by the intersection of the semi-circular arches that form the stand; characteristic elements of Gothic architecture reinterpreted in its minimal expression. The radius of the arc is the same in all the curved shapes of each piece, achieving a geometric symmetry.
