The Ronde Pendant is Oliver Schick's first product for Gubi. The bell-shaped piece harks back to the designs of the 1970s, but with a modern twist. A unique detail is the opening on the top with an overhanging collar that is reminiscent of a jar. It is made from hand-turned aluminum with an ultra-matt lacquer, making it look as if it were made from ceramic. Ronde is in several languages the word for 'round', but it is also the flat blank used for a metal spinning technique.

Established in 1997, Cult (formerly Corporate Culture) formed to provide not only exceptional designer furniture, but also a high level of customer service, a combination not yet experienced in the Australian marketplace.
In his endeavours since then, company founder and director Richard Munao has built one of the most comprehensive collections of brand partners in Australia and New Zealand. Cult has grown from its first location in Sydney to now include showrooms in Melbourne, Brisbane and Auckland as well as distributors in Canberra, Adelaide and Perth.
In addition to founding Cult, and supporting strong international partners like Fritz Hansen, Carl Hansen & Son, &Tradition, HAY and Gubi, Richard is actively involved in discovering and mentoring emerging Australian and New Zealand design talent. As founder of Cult’s Design Journey Competition, which began in 2004, Richard gives designers throughout Australia and New Zealand the opportunity to have their designs prototyped and put into production.
