PRODUCT SHEET


Its name, "Botero," is rich in meaning, derived from Spanish, it refers not only to the traditional artisan who crafts containers for wine, olive oil, and vinegar but also to a boatman, conjuring imagery of slow, deliberate journeys across water. This dual meaning is at the heart of the piece, which marries functional elegance with poetic storytelling.

The design draws heavily from the maritime world, incorporating elements reminiscent of nautical life. Leather accents mimic the worn yet enduring straps found on old cargo bundles, while finely crafted string details recall the rigging of sails and mooring lines. The solid wood components, expertly joined, echo the structure of traditional boat hulls, robust, curved, and smooth to the touch.

Every detail of Botero speaks to the tactile and visual language of craftsmanship. The materials were chosen not only for their durability but for their ability to age gracefully, much like a beloved vessel or time-worn barrel. It is this rustic refinement that sets Botero apart, a contemporary piece rooted deeply in tradition.

Whether used as a storage solution, a decorative accent, or a conversation starter, Botero bridges utility and narrative, bringing a touch of maritime soul and artisanal authenticity to any interior.
