Revelation
Rui Ribeiro
Founder & Creative Director of the Pood brand
Rui Ribeiro sees kitchen design as fertile ground for aesthetic and emotional experimentation. His approach transcends function, transforming the domestic space into a platform for sculptural expression. He explores materials, proportions, and visual rhythms through a restrained language, where formal silence becomes an active element of the design. Beyond challenging functional conventions, he affirms the kitchen as a cultural object — meant to be inhabited, contemplated, and enduring.
Under his creative direction, Pood is defined by intentionality, attention to detail, and a refusal to follow formulas — creations with character, made to leave a mark.
Revelation P18
by Rui Ribeiro
2018
‘The Revelation model came from the idea of ‘revealing’ the structure of the kitchen as a pure form, without ornamentation. I wanted to show that the essentials - when well designed - are enough.’
Revelation P18 was the first author-designed model by Pood — a starting point that defined the brand’s aesthetic identity. With a sculptural approach marked by minimalism, it reveals a silent presence where structural precision and the absence of decorative elements highlight the purity of form.
It incorporates exclusive technology that allows natural stone to be applied at just 5 mm thick, supported by a purpose-engineered structure. This system makes drawers and other components significantly lighter, without compromising solidity.
The fronts, cut at 45° and with no visible handles, reinforce the perception of a cohesive and intentional volume. Available in various materials, the integrity of the concept remains untouched.
Revelation stands out through its discreet yet unmistakable presence — a piece that speaks for itself, designed to endure.
Revelation P19
by Rui Ribeiro
2019
"Nesta versão procurei simplificar a estrutura e torná-la mais leve, sem perder precisão nem carácter. É uma evolução natural, pensada para oferecer mais liberdade material sem comprometer a integridade do desenho."
Revelation P19 deepens the formal language of the inaugural Revelation P18 model, maintaining the constructive precision and aesthetic rigour that define the brand's identity. True to minimalism, it features continuous surfaces and a refined geometry, where each line fulfils a function and the edges dissolve into the whole.
It introduces a bar area integrated into the island, expanding the possibilities of use and reinforcing the dialogue between functionality and sculptural presence. Like the original model, it incorporates Pood's exclusive technology, which allows the surfaces to be covered with natural stone of just 5 mm, applied to a light and resistant structure - a solution that reduces the weight of the drawers and maintains the visual and structural integrity of the piece.
Revelation P20
by Rui Ribeiro
2020
‘In this piece I tried to erase the visual noise and build something that would stand out for its precision and silence. What's essential is the way things come together.’
Revelation P20 is conceived as a functional sculpture, with a clean and silent language, where every detail reveals restraint and precision. The composition features an island with integrated bar/table area and a suspended linear module, fixed to the wall and raised off the floor - an architectural gesture that reinforces the visual lightness of the whole.
The model incorporates Pood's exclusive technology, which makes it possible to clad the surfaces with natural stone of just 5 mm, applied to a light and resistant structure. This solution significantly reduces the weight of the drawers and components, without compromising the solidity or sculptural presence of the piece.
The fronts cut at 45° and the concealed joints reinforce the reading of an intact, cohesive and intentional volume. Although presented in a specific configuration, Revelation P20 can be adapted to different materials and preferences, always maintaining the integrity of the original concept.
