"Arupemba" Swing in Blue

$5,112per item

About

The design of this outdoor lounge chair swing, perfect for the outdoors, crosses timelines and calls back to ancestry, clippings of history, and emotional ties to home. From the indigenous style of Brazil, the 'Arupemba" - a strainer made of carnaúba or buriti straw - is where the aesthetic of this swing chair is owed. Simplicity of the circular artifact used by natives to sift corn and cassava flour is extolled by the symbolic value and flavour of the memory on which the tradition of this piece emerges.

About The Maker

Sergio J. Matos

Sérgio J. Matos, 43, born in Paranatinga, a small town in the state of Mato Grosso, specializes in authorial design, furniture, objects and scenography. He has been performing this function for 12 years, but professionally, since the opening of his studio in 2010. The fact that he was born in a region close to the Xingu indigenous reserve, surrounded by the natural diversity of the forest, learned early on to be curious to know , admire and observe this culture, which awoke and stimulated him to look for ways to work with these natural materials and colors extracted from nature.
