Meet Mr. CIUCO, the dashing donkey gentleman that challenges stereotypes as it gleams in its anthropomorphous glory. A mix of humor, luxury and utility, CIUCO goes beyond furniture – a magical, sculptural object, almost life like, that makes you smile every time you glance at them.

The CIUCO Cabinet has a lovable large brass donkey head that sits atop a brass and resin line shirt. The buttons are knobs to open the tuxedo revealing a spacious cabinet within. CIUCO is meticulously crafted by fine craftsman in India using a painstakingly intricate inlay technique. This is exclusively designed for Scarlet Splendour by Matteo Cibic and this midnight blue Ciuco is a Design Miami/ exclusive. Colors and dimensions can be customized in a limited way, but upon consultation/approval from the designer.
