Catalogue Note
Stiletto says of his furniture designs: “They are to have a lucid structure, fulfill their intended function in terms of length by width by height, (...) I can meet these conditions most easily when I use containers taken from the everyday consumer cycle as my starting material…. Redesign here has less to do with recycling and more with rebirth". This child version of the consumer wrest is a wry comment on consumerism.
