Credenza Collection, Spazio Pontaccio
Traditional stained glass gets a refresh in this new sideboard, a collaboration between Spanish architect and designer Patricia Urquiola and Italian cultural impresario Federico Pepe, founder of controversial art magazine Le Dictateur. The piece is part of the duo’s limited-edition Credenza Collection for Milan-based boutique Spazio Pontaccio. Its rounded metal volume sits on four slender, cylindrical legs, while angular geometric patterns and bold colors make the stained-glass doors pop. In their contemporary take on the historic technique, Urquiola and Pepe swap religious vignettes for vibrant abstraction. In Italian, appropriately enough, credenza means both “sideboard” and “belief.” spaziopontaccio.com
