Reliquary Mirror: made in Brazil with imbuia wood and bronze mirror

About the Item

Entirely made of solid imbuia and 4mm bronze mirror, the Reliquary Mirror it's a collectible design piece. Leaning on the table or installed on the wall, this piece attracts attention and can be placed in different spaces, as the entrance hall or as a support on the dressing table, decorating the wall in the living room or on the counter in the social bathroom. The effect of light and shadow created by natural light is captured by the delicate design that runs through the wood and allows a glimpse of the hidden mirror. Like a reliquary, which holds the image of our loved ones, when we open this piece we come across our reflected image, reminding us that we need to be the most important person to ourselves, because only then will we be able to truly love someone. . The Reliquary Mirror is inspired in the storie of Wagner Trindade, an artisan who learned from his father how to make Moroccan lamps in Tiradentes, Minas Gerais, and through time discovered beautiful ways of mixing new techniques with his family tradition. It is possible to choose the opening side of the Reliquary Mirror when installing it on the wall, and its wooden hinge allows even to be placed on a table or sideboard, if wished. Because it is made in solid imbuia each one will always be one as the wood varies in tones and veins. It is part of Yankatu's Artisans collection. To create them Maria Fernanda Paes de Barros researched the Brazilian colonial traditions in the historic city of Tiradentes, Minas Gerais and went through numerous immersions with the local artisans. As all the pieces produced by Yankatu, 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 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. The objects that appear in the pictures are not a part of the Reliquary Mirror. Brazilian Contemporary and Collectible Design by Yankatu, design + art with Brazilian soul.

Embira Bench: made in Brazil with pink jequitba wood and natural dyed yarns

By Maria Fernanda Paes de Barros

Located in Jundiaí, SP

Curves and symmetry, comfort and beauty. The Embira Stool is a multifaceted piece that fits into different environments, from the most sophisticated to the coolest. Made with jequitibá wood its feet seem fragile, but support the weight of sitting. A detail that draws attention is the mooring made with cotton threads dyed with the bark of the embira’s tree, collected on the surroundings of the Kaupüna Village, in the Xingu Indigenous Territory, Mato Grosso, Brazil. A passion for wood, symmetry, and flexibility. It is impossible not to fall in love with the structure of the “oca” (the name used to designate the Mehinaku indigenous people homes). The lightness that is counterbalanced by force is impressive. The curvature that the pindaíba trees, thin and long, allows, the solidity found in the cinnamon wood that permeates the earth to bring security, and the incredible embira bark that unites everything, eliminating the use of nails. These are all raw materials found in the surroundings, within sight, that have only their uses reviewed, showing that it is always possible to find a new meaning for what is around us and in our life. It is part of Yankatu's Xingu collection...

Located in Jundiaí, SP

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.

Minimalist Style Mirror with Frame Made of Ash and Ebony by Giordano Vigano

By Giordano Viganò

Located in Novedrate, IT

The frame of the mirror is composed of three elements that are progressively tilted and this particular detail gives depth to this minimalist piece made of ebony and ash. Solid ash is a light wood characterized by delicate grain that contrasts with the dark color of ebony. This frame was handcrafted using traditional woodworking techniques. A mirror, besides being a decorative object, makes the space of a room seem larger and brightens it up. A natural finish was applied to the wood so as not to cover the grain and change the color. It is a peculiar object...
