Destino
2022, Concept Furniture Design
Destino comprises four elements that work in harmony to create space within a space, amongst nature. First, the sculptural screen defines an interior and exterior while maintaining a visual connection between both. The second, and foundational piece of the Destino line is the desk. A clever table with a rolled edge that softens the transition to work mode. Third, the chair utilizes similarly softened transitions to invite the user to be present within their outdoor office and focus on the tasks at hand. Lastly, a collection of architecturally inspired desk weights, necessary on a breezy day, helps mitigate one of the primary challenges of working outside, the wind.
This collection is meant for those with the good fortune to revel in their accomplishments while dedicating themselves to their continued ambition. Destino is imagined as a desirable place to arrive and exist when work needs to be done.
Each piece within the Destino collection adheres to the constraints of well-established manufacturing techniques. Materials were selected for their robust characteristics, value, and ability to be well-crafted. Finishes and details were drawn from Gandia Blasco’s existing catalog in order to maintain continuity with the existing brand language.

In the evening, the parasol acts purely as space division, but during the day, the upper half of the shade can be rotated up to provide shade.
One reality of working on a terrace is that our space is subject to breezes. The fourth element of this collection are sculptural table weights inspired by three luminary Spanish architects: Santiago Calatrava, Antoni Gaudí, and Ricardo Bofill LevÍ. As architecture defines space at a variety of scales, and as the other Destino elements define space within the terrace, so too will these sculptures define, and re-define, the visual landscape of your workspace.
Destino's table is deceptively simple while integration innovation below the surface. The extruded aluminum leg and frame pieces are joined at the corner by an aluminum casting. The desktop is a single piece of sheet metal which can be powder coated to match or contrast.
The extruded aluminum frame integrates a rail that accepts accessories allowing the user to customize their workspace. The frame and surface design also allow sizing configuration.
