Ane

The Ane stool has solid timber slats of timber that appear to float harmoniously, yet independently from the timber legs, above the steel frame . The designer states that the seat, hand crafted in certified eco-friendly timber, is formed through the unique use of multiple pieces of one shape of wood positioned and cut in a dynamic way. When seated on the stool, the slight rise in angle to the back and the roll off angles on the sides are finished in a way that provides a natural, comfortable sitting position. The Ane stool has just the right degree of complexity to create an elegant finish.

Armchair

Savana

The Savana armchair, made entirely by hand and only with wicker branches, was performed at a small workshop in Sao Paulo. A complex work that questions the high industrialization of furniture, since the raw material was not altered for the making of the piece. Referring to the clump of grass as wind, as found in nature, the Savana is an armchair full of identity and with its own magnetism, unable to go unnoticed. With the branches curved into the water and then glued one by one, it reveals a different detail of every angle of vision, with a vide range of details, that only nature could bestow.

Lusitana

The Lusitana chair is the result of a work on plywood, which goes through the new technologies to a meticulous workmanship that gives it a different image and style, where its form expresses an immediate reading, permits to visualize its details, evoking in the imagination shipbuilding, boats and the sea. Its wooden structure fits constructively with simplicity in a single body, distilling elegance from its smooth curves that are organised in an ergonomic way to provide comfort, supported by the fabric upholstery only placed on the structure that can be changed in divers colors.
