About the Item
The Tora bench, designed by Zanini, is a fine example of contemporary design that celebrates the inherent beauty and form of natural materials. The bench is distinguished by its organic and robust appearance, which is achieved through the use of a large, singular piece of raw wood as its main structural element. This piece of wood is a section of a log, retaining its natural shape and textures, which means the bench is unique due to the variations found in nature.
The wood's surface shows signs of age and character, such as rings, cracks, and variations in color, that tell the story of the tree it came from. The ends of the log are cut cleanly, displaying the cross-section of the tree, while the sides retain the rough, untouched bark, offering a contrast between the processed and natural states of the wood.
Supporting this central log are cylindrical wooden legs, which are crafted with precision to provide stability and strength. These legs are attached to the log with visible joinery, featuring circular wooden caps that not only serve as a structural component but also add a decorative touch. The legs are shorter than the diameter of the log, giving the impression that the stool is solidly grounded.
Overall, the Tora stool's design is minimalistic, yet it commands attention through its substantial presence and the story it carries within its natural form. It is a piece that pays homage to the material's origins, designed to bring a piece of nature into the contemporary living space, and exemplifying Zanine Caldas's skill in creating functional art that resonates with the principles of sustainability and organic modernism.

Balanço Bench by Rodrigo Ohtake, Brazilian Contemporary Design
By Rodrigo Ohtake
Located in Sao Paulo, SP
The Balanço Bench was created by the Brazilian contemporary designer Rodrigo Ohtake, in 2019.
The mix of materials is the differential in this series. While wood is used as a seat, a metal plate, thick and curved, raises the first material from the ground in a light way and with minimal contact, both with the floor and with the wood.
The structure is made of stainless steel and Cumaru Wood. Definitely a one of a kind and unique piece.
Graduated at FAU / USP in 2009, with a period of studies at the Polytechnic of Milan, Rodrigo Ohtake is always in search of his own architectural style. Passionate about colors and free forms, he collaborated with architects Mario Biselli, Alvaro Puntoni, and Frenchman Patrick Jouin, in addition to working with his father, Ruy, from 2008 to 2016.
In addition to working in the offices, he participated as a curatorial assistant in the exhibitions "Viver na Floresta", curated by Abílio Guerra, "O Coração da Cidade: Invention of Spaces" by Júlio Katinsky...
