Made in solid Cabreúva wood, this is a multifunctional piece with a timeless design that values Brazilian artisanal work. The traditional embroidery exudes the fabric and falls on the bronze glass to fill up the door of the Mobile Brocade. The tones of the naturally dyed yarns recall the colors of paintings found in the churches and historic houses of Tiradentes (MG), probably made in the second half of the eighteenth century when the Rococo style, that came from Europe, brought with it lightness and light.

The embroidery on the glass is work of artisan D. Maria Conceição de Paula. Despite the fact of being born and raised in a small historic town, she allowed herself to experiment new surfaces, accepting the challenge of embroidering a bronze glass with 133 holes.

Artisans, gold that flourish by hands

Making an allusion to the gold taken from Brazil by the Portuguese crown during the colonial period, the Artisans collection wants to show that the true Brazilian gold is still here, latent, waiting to be found.

There is an immense wealth stored in every artisan of this country, we just have to get rid of stereotypes and learn to see. The pieces of the collection are inspired by five artisans from Tiradentes (MG) and their different expertise. Through them I present my gaze on the work of each one. There are dressers, tables, mirrors and lamps with the soul of each artisan and mine too.

Artisans are our wealth, our roots, our culture. Carvings, sculptures, embroidery and the like emerge from their hands, from their hearts love, respect and sensitivity. An honor for me that they allow me to enter their worlds and bring them into mine. Artisans Collection is a tribute to them, the people responsible for passing on much of our traditions.

Feito em madeira maciça de Cabreúva, é uma peça multifuncional com design atemporal que valoriza o trabalho artesanal brasileiro. O bordado tradicional exalta o tecido e cai no vidro de bronze para encher a porta do móvel Brocado. Os tons dos fios tingidos naturalmente lembram as cores das pinturas encontradas nas igrejas e casas históricas de Tiradentes (MG), provavelmente feitas na segunda metade do século XVIII, quando o estilo rococó, que veio da Europa, trouxe luz e leveza.

O bordado no vidro é obra da artesã D. Maria Conceição de Paula. Apesar de ter nascido e sido criada em uma pequena cidade histórica, ela se permitiu experimentar novas superfícies, aceitando o desafio de bordar o vidro de bronze, que possui 133 furos.

Artesãos, ouro que aflora pelas mãos.

Há uma imensa riqueza armazenada em todos os artesãos deste país, apenas precisamos nos livrar dos estereótipos e aprender a ver. As peças da coleção são inspiradas em cinco artesãos de Tiradentes (MG) e seus diferentes conhecimentos. Através deles, apresento meu olhar sobre o trabalho de cada um. Há armários, mesas, espelhos e luminárias com a alma de cada artesão e a minha também.

Os artesãos são nossa riqueza, nossas raízes, nossa cultura. Entalhes, esculturas, bordados e afins emergem de suas mãos, de seus corações, respeito e sensibilidade. Uma honra para mim que eles me permitam entrar em seus mundos e trazê-los para o meu. A Coleção Artesãos é uma homenagem a eles, responsáveis ​​por transmitir grande parte de nossas tradições.
