The avant-garde design duo of ‘King Kong’ is made up of two designers, Stefano Giovannoni & Guido Venturini. With a interest in popular culture and cartoons, the duo aimed to capture a childish playfulness within their designs. The ‘Girotondo’ range offers the familiar cut-out man as the central icon, stemming from the name itself which is taken from the Italian version of the common rhyme ‘ring-a-ring-a-roses’, a fitting motif to decorate the entire range.
This note holder offers a perfect spot for post-it notes or scrap paper, ready to filled with ideas or thoughts at a moments notice. Constructed in bent steel, the simplicity and openness of the design feels right at home in a contemporary desk setup.
