How is a design like Bost born?
Through a process of investigation or sudden inspiration?
From both. In Yonoh we are constantly developing small concepts that, sometimes, change into big projects. In this case, Bost arose from a formal idea: how to make
a simple model that combines wood and metal in a function way, sober, but with our most organic essence? Little by little we saw the possibilities of the product and the process of investigation took center stage, adding to the family, resolving technical issues, size, material, colors…
Has there been many changes to the final product in respect to the original idea?
There have been very few esthetic changes. The modifications happened when we went into detail: the fact that a collection so multifunctional and combinable has involved an intensive investigation and development to make sure everything functions and fits together perfectly in any situation.
How is the process for a product like this?
Is it digital or artisanal?
Bost is a product that combined 50% of the work digitally and the other 50% through trial and error to understand the dimensions of the product and its modularity. We tried to create a product that was easy to understand with which it was also easy to work with, and because of that we spent many hours working, with the technical development and the physical trials of the pieces.
