Its brass or copper screen creates unique and soft reflections. Where social gatherings were once enlivened by the gramophone's rough sound, Sousaphone now seeks to recreate its shine, silhouette, and presence.This piece is carved and polished by hand, and assembled using traditional wood joints. Both the metallic screen and the two-tier oak tripod offer some options for customization.Founded in 2017 by Martín Diego Salido-Orcillo and Antonio Mendoza Bravo, ACOOCOORO is a furniture, lighting and artifacts studio, a lab, focused on aesthetic and historic research, on objects' narrative and emotional relation with individuals and space.Every object, every piece, more than a product in a collection, is the result of exploration and experimentation through materials, processes and artisanal work. These elements fill every one of them with history, stories and memories: those of the individuals that conceive and create them, and those of the people that live their lives through and with them.Silent Design, finally, is a guiding principle in ACOOCOORO's practice, whenever the collaboration with artisan groups is involved, with a complex yet clear goal: the establishment of non-extractive, cooperative, self-sufficient relations, where craftsmanship, economic benefit, authorship, property, and narrative are reclaimed by and rebalanaced in favor of the artisans themselves, and notthe designers.
