Arupemba Armchair

About the Item

The design crosses timeline and rescues ancestry, clippings of history and emotional ties. From the indigenous cuisine of Brazil Cologne to nowadays, the “arupemba”, strainer made of carnaúba or buriti straw, lends its aesthetics and name to the swing chair idealized by the designer from Mato Grosso Sérgio Matos. The simplicity of the circular artifact used by natives to sift corn and cassava flour is extolled by the symbolic value and flavor of the memory that puts the June festival traditions from Northeast. The flexibility of vegetal fiber gives way to the rigidity of forged steel, typical of the ancient gates and that the artisan Master Bira manufactures like nobody. The woof of straw is replaced by the polypropylene string, with the interlacement that sets the designer brand rooted in the city of Campina Grande, Paraíba. The results are furniture pieces that materialize the regional identity, recover the traditional knowledge and perpetuate references of a remote everyday with taste of Brazilian’s.
