About the Item

The Cabaça Armchair is the debut furniture piece from Studio NJ+, designed by architect and designer Nildo José as a heartfelt tribute to the Brazilian northeastern sertão. Inspired by the “cabaça”, a hard-shelled fruit historically used in rural Brazil for water storage, musical instruments, and artisanal crafts, the chair captures the essence of cultural symbolism, functionality, and organic beauty. Its curved silhouette echoes the gentle form of the fruit, while the structure reflects both strength and delicacy, hallmarks of the sertão’s resilience. Crafted with precision and deep cultural sensitivity, the Cabaça Armchair stands as a sculptural yet practical statement piece—perfect for modern interiors, design collectors, or those drawn to Brazilian heritage and contemporary craftsmanship. A striking blend of narrative, form, and purpose.
