Genipabu

Genipabu is a sideboard designed for dining and living spaces. The upper section holds an integrated wine rack formed by rhythmic triangular structures that recall the shapes of the Genipabu dunes in Natal, Brazil. The door handles are sculpted with smooth curves that follow the wind-carved forms of the sand. The base structure is made of MDF covered with natural wood veneers, and the wine rack is machined with CNC equipment. External parts are made of certified solid wood finished with natural carnauba wax. The sideboard measures 2100 by 500 by 680 millimetres.

Gera

Gera is a wooden design informed by Brazilian modernist furniture and the structural clarity present in the work of Geraldo de Barros. Crafted from certified Brazilian jequitiba wood and natural leather, it contains no metal components or visible fasteners. Concealed joinery preserves visual continuity, while tensioned leather surfaces respond to the body. Through material reduction, responsible sourcing, and structural precision, the work articulates an investigation into ergonomics and sustainable permanence.
