Vândria Borari & Eunice De Oliveira Bowls

About the Item

Unique design piece The Kwasawá Straw and ceramic bowl was first presented in Two Chronicles Exhibition at A CASA Museum, in October 2019 in São Paulo, Brazil. They are an homage to indigenous ancestry and the importance to understand and value our traditions and origins as part of knowing who we are and our place in the world. The pieces in Tucumã straw (typical palm of The Amazon Forest) dyed with roots, leaves and fruits and braided by the artisans of the riverside Community of Urucureá, in Pará, followed the shapes of the indigenous pottery made by Borari descendants in the village of Alter do Chão, 2 and a half hours by boat from the community. With this work the artist and designer aimed to recover in the artisans the feeling of to rescue the feeling of belonging in the artisans, who for many reasons detached themselves from their indigenous ancestors who passed on the tradition of straw weaving in the region of the Arapiuns River The Borari ceramics is also the most significant handicraft tradition of this ethnic group and today it is practically extinct. Although they are sold as a pair, the measures displayed are for each one of the pieces. Designer's words: “In every project I make I dive deeply into the lives of people who work with me. It´s a dive governed by research, guided by the heart, made with respect, confidence and the pace dictated by time. In every collection I make there is a meeting of souls and essences. I transform myself and bring about transformations, attitudes that reflect on people, surroundings and beyond. The palpable part of this work is the pieces (the chairs and the tables and everything else) that intertwine my gaze with that of the lives that share their moments with me. The other part, immeasurable, is continually developing in a mix of art and freedom with no time to end. THE “SOUL”: All the pieces produced by Yankatu are unique and 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. The book leaves some blank pages for those who acquired the piece can continually tell its history. This way it turns into something more, which does not depend on fashion, which does not go by with time. On the contrary, it will move on from one generation to another, from hand to hand, each time with more stories to tell, each time incorporating the lives shared by it. Important Information: The wood comes from nature and each one is unique, with its veins, knots and tones. Due 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. The Tucumã straw used in some of the pieces is handmade and natural so it can also suffers from the action of time, lightness and humidity. These same effects can occur with fabrics and other details incorporated into the piece. These characteristics are part of the history of the piece not considered defects. The handcrafted details does not repeat itself, they may be similar but never equal. That´s the imperfect perfection that makes each one of them unique. The first photo corresponds to the described product above. The other photos may come accompanied by other pieces of the collection. Free shipping to São Paulo, the capital. Brazilian Contemporary and Collectible Design by Yankatu, design + art with Brazilian soul.
