“Taco” ...Allows generating different furniture with only varying the configuration and quantities of the Center Piece, achieving with this a change of image and with a different use. The Center Piece is originally thought out to be made out of wood, nonetheless it can be extended to other materials such as strong cardboard, metals, etc.., always that the new pieces are interchangeable with the original pieces. The basic form of the Center Piece originates from a cube which has had different patterns or perforation models put on its sides to attract consumers of different tastes, also with the intention of creating a collectibles or memorabilia side to the product line.
“Taco” seeks to get the consumer involved with the design process of his furniture, inventing new combinations and arrangements of the pieces to achieve an image that adapts to his personality and use.
