Copacabana
1991
“My designs often have relationships to one another. The creation of one
might inspire a new idea, and I like to think of particular pieces as partners.
The Copacabana table was designed to go with the Pastil chair; the curved
line of the table suits the round shape of the chair.”
“My first commercial design idea was a cane stool which I wove myself in 1954.
It was the first version of the Mushroom. The idea for the fiberglass version came
in 1967 and the first fiberglass samples were produced in the 1970s. The actual
production did not start until the end of the 1990s, but as the size, dimensions and
functions were the same, the name also stuck.”
