All the levels of this round bookcase, made of cabreuva hardwood, are permeated by buriti palms yarns with ceramic beads, creating different compositions depending on the angle we look at it. All the soft colored shades of the ceramic come from the clay itself, stones and plants of the Jequitinhonha Valley, a Brazilian region known by its traditional ceramic craftwork. The designer Maria Fernanda Paes de Barros spent some time there researching their art and the way they live. The inspiration to design this bookcase came from the curtains used to decorate their houses and also by the poetry written by Deuzani Gomes dos Santos, the artisan who received her in her home. It is part of the Records of Time collection, whose inspiration came from an immersion period lived by the designer Maria Fernanda Paes de Barros at the artisans community, Coqueiro Campo, researching the materials and the origins of this Brazilian traditional craftwork, listening to the valley's stories and learning the artisans way of living. This bookcase, and all the pieces produced by Yankatu are numbered and accompanied by its soul, a small book that tells about the inspiration that gave birth to it and leaves blank pages so that its story can continue to be told by those who acquire it, turning it into something more, which does not change with fashion, which does not go by with time. To the contrary, it will move on from a generation to another, from hand to hand, each time with more stories to tell, each time incorporating the lives shared by it. The wood comes from nature, each one is unique, with its veins, knots and tones. Because it is a natural material it suffers with the climate change, so cracks an shifts in color may emerge over time. The wood can also warp sometimes due to a large variation in relative humidity of the air. This aren’t defects on the contrary, all of this is considered normal. All the handmade details in this round swivel bookcase...

The Beiju Center Table is tribute to Mehinaku indigenous women. Made in Cabreúva wood it receives tiny beads necklaces made by them to be used in the traditional rituals of their people, in the Xingu Indigenous Territory, Mato Grosso, Brazil.

Cocar Chair is made from cabreúva wood to highlight the tradition of braiding tucumã straw from the Amazon rainforest. It is more than a chair, it's a manifesto. Crafts are culture. It is full of meanings, of reasons to be alive till these days. It reflects part of our history as human beings. It lives in harmony with the nature around him. It translates feelings and emotions. It represents lives. Lives that are as important as everyone else’s. Lives that deserve respect and recognition. Lives that keep alive cultures all around the world helping helping us not to lose sight of our ancestry. It is part of Yankatu's Alma-Raiz collection. To create them Maria Fernanda Paes de Barros researched the Brazilian traditions and made innumerous immersions in the riverside community of Urucureá, on the banks of the Arapiuns River and surrounded by the Amazon Forest. The Alma-Raiz Collection is born from the deepening plunge of the designer Maria Fernanda Paes de Barros into Brazilian identity. As all the pieces produced by Yankatu, it is accompanied by its soul, a certificate of authenticity in the form of a small book that tells about the inspiration that gave birth to it and leaves blank pages so that its story can continue to be told by those who acquire it, turning it into something more, which does not change with fashion, which does not go by with time. To the contrary, it will move on from a generation to another, from hand to hand, each time with more stories to tell, each time incorporating the lives shared by it. The wood comes from nature, each one is unique, with its veins, knots and tones. Because it is a natural material it suffers with the climate change, so cracks and shifts in color may emerge over time. The wood can also warp sometimes due to a large variation in relative humidity of the air. Naturally dyed straw has unique characteristics that never repeats itself. Due to this process, colors fade more easily than industrial ones. This isn’t considered a defect, on the contrary it is considered normal, as a way of telling its own story. When ordering, you should check what options are available. The work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
