Traditions Bowl - handmade in Brazil with traditional ceramic and straw

About the Item

Traditions bowl is a delicate piece that can acquire different functions always capturing our gaze. From housing fruit, to supporting cell phones and keys at the entrance of the house or receiving a beautiful bouquet of flowers, it attracts attention, filling the home with beauty and meaning. The pieces made of Cabreúva wood bring the Tucumã straw (typical palm of The Amazon Forest) stained with roots, leaves and fruits and braided by the artisans of the riverside Community of Urucureá, in Pará, and the traditional pottery from Jequitinhonha Valley, made by artisan Deuzani Gomes dos Santos, the same artisan responsible for the ceramic pieces of Contas Bookshelves, Encontros Side table and the Ni Lamps (available at 1stdibs). Inspired by the genre of music and round dance that was born in Pará and that mixes Portuguese and African elements, Maria Fernanda presents in the Carimbó series, pieces that mix techniques from three different regions and that have already been present in her professional journey, in previous collections. “There are so many artisans spread across the country, why not add them together? Exchanging information, telling stories, sharing knowledge, understanding that we are all equal, regardless of color, gender or belief is essential for cultural enrichment and society itself.” Naturally dyed straw has unique characteristics that are never repeated. Due to this process, colors fade more easily than industrial ones, this is not considered a defect, but rather a way of telling your own story. When ordering, you should check what options are available. The dyeing of the straw is done by artisans from the riverside community of Urucureá, who also braid the straws, creating traditional engravings from the Arapiuns river region. Colors mix, new designs are formed, rhythmic movements, everything is light and free, and emanates an energy of someone who lives the moment completely. I observe and learn, immersed in a real, contagious life. Please note, the handcrafted details don't repeat themselves, they can be alike but never the same, they are manual made, an imperfect perfection that makes each one unique. Each piece comes with a different painting, please check the availability at the time of purchase.   The work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Brazilian Contemporary and Collectible Design by Yankatu, design + art with Brazilian soul.

  • Contas Round Swivel Bookcase: handmade in Brazil with cabreuva wood and ceramic
    By Maria Fernanda Paes de Barros
    Located in Jundiaí, SP
    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...
