Made of solid Brazilian walnut, its feet receive bas-reliefs inspired by the indigenous Tapirapé drawing, used to decorate bowls. The top receives a marquetry in the center and a circular groove.

In search of my origin and of what the word "pleasure" means to me, I have been driven to nature. Pantanal, Amazon, Atlantic Forest, fauna, flora and indigenous tribes…beauty pure and simple. After sounds, forms, colors and scents.

The tribes collection was born, aiming at reinforcing our cultural heritage and praising Brazil. The collection is inspired by the indigenous graphics found in bowls carved by the native people of the Tapirapé tribe and on the work done by the native people of the Nambiquara Tribe, who use seeds of Sibipiruna, Inajá and Tucum coconut shell in crafting bandoliers and necklaces.

The tenderness of these works contrast with the force and sturdiness of solid Imbuia. As in life, a subtle equilibrium between force and delicacy.

​Value what we have is the meaning of "pleasure" for me. It is in the simple things of life, such as the color of the flowers, the scent of the soil sprayed by the rain, the sound of the wind moving the leafs, the song of the birds announcing a new day, the simple smile of a child.

Small details, which we sometime underestimate, are what really makes a difference.

TRIBOS

Em busca das minhas raízes e do que a palavra “prazer” significa para mim, fui levada ao encontro da natureza. Pantanal, Amazônia, Mata Atlântica, fauna, flora, tribos indígenas... beleza pura e simples. De sons, de formas, de cores, de aromas. A linha Tribos, procurando reforçar nossa HERANÇA CULTURAL e valorizar nosso Brasil. 
​
Inspirada pelo grafismo presente nas cuias entalhadas pelos etnia Tapirapé, além da inspiração no trabalho realizado pelos índígenas da etnia Nambiquara na confecção de bandoleiras e colares, nos quais utilizam sementes de Siripiuna e Inajá e cascas de coco Tucum.

A sensibilidade desses trabalhos contrasta com a força e robustez da imbuia maciça. Assim como na vida, um equilíbrio sutil entre força e delicadeza.​

Valorizar o que temos é, para mim, o significado de “prazer”. Está nas coisas simples da vida, como o colorido das flores, o aroma da terra molhada pela chuva, o som do vento movimentando as folhas, o canto dos pássaros anunciando um novo dia, o sorriso puro de uma criança.

Pequenos detalhes - que muitas vezes subestimamos - são o que realmente fazem a diferença.
