A passion for wood, symmetry and flexibility. It is impossible not to fall in love with the hollow structure under construction in the village of Kaupuna. The lightness that is counterbalanced by force is impressive.

The curvature that the trunk of the pindaíba, thin and long, allows, the solidity found in the cinnamon that permeates the earth to bring security and the incredible embira bark that unites everything, eliminating the use of nails. All raw materials are found in the surroundings, within sight, they have only their uses reviewed, showing that it is always possible to find a new meaning for what is around us and in our life.

It is from this look that Banco Embira is born, in brown cabreúva, with feet that seem fragile, but support the weight of sitting. The detail is due to the mooring made with cotton threads dyed with the bark of the embira used in the hollow of the village.

Paixões... pela madeira, pela simetria e pela flexibilidade. Sendo assim foi impossível não me apaixonar pela estrutura oca que estava em construção na aldeia Kaupuna quando estive lá em dezembro de 2019. A leveza contrabalançada pela força
e resistência impressionam.

A curvatura que o tronco fino e longo da pindaíba permite, a solidez encontrada na canela que permeia a terra para trazer
segurança e a incrível casca de embira que une tudo, eliminando o uso de pregos. Todas estas matérias-primas são encontradas nos arredores, estão totalmente à vista, têm apenas seus usos revisados, mostrando que sempre é possível encontrar um novo significado para o que está ao nosso redor e em nossa vida.

É a partir desse olhar que o Banco Embira nasceu, em cabreúva parda, num tom que busca se conectar com o bronzeado do povo Mehinako, com pés que parecem frágeis, mas suportam o peso da história. O detalhe se deve à amarração feita com fios de algodão tingidos com a casca da embira usada para unir todas as casas da aldeia.
