Assento Stool by Macheia
About the Item
Assento Stool by Macheia
Handmade In Portugal.
Dimensions: D 55 x W 75 x H 40 cm.
Materials: Natural dried bulrush and galvanized iron.
Inspired by Tanho, the most iconic piece of the Bunho technique, Assento is a hybrid between a sitting stool and a side table. The bulrush spiral extends into a metal arc that embraces the wheel into the metal structure. The low seat’s organic shape represents a release from the spiraling motion of the wheel.
The Collection zooms in the Bunho technique - a unique portuguese basketry technique that shapes the natural fiber Bulrush (Schoenoplectrus Palla), into a intricate mesh of knots and stitches.
Nowadays, the Bunho technique is kept by the hands and know-how of only two artisans in Europe, One of them is Manuel Ferreira. With an intention of preserving and highlighting such important heritage, the Collection combines the most iconic shape the technique takes - the wheel - with
metal structures to create a new dynamic between both materials. Bulrush relies on the collaboration of two master craftsmen, a Bunheiro and a Blacksmith, to create/propose a revisited approach on ancient techniques.
MACHEIA, is a term that refers to a measurement of quantity equivalent to one’s hand. Lisbon-based design studio whose work ranges from storytelling-objects, performative installations and private commissions with an intentional focus on natural fibers, ancient techniques and their continuity.

Galerie Philia
Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.

Located in Geneve, CH
Cadeira Chair by Macheia
Handmade In Portugal.
Dimensions: D 45 x W 45 x H 88 cm.
Materials: Natural dried bulrush and galvanized iron.
The chair’s concept is rooted in the notion that every spiral starts around a hand. The hole, the
imprint of the creator’s hand, is here highlighted by the organically shaped metal back, pointing
out where the chair begins. The rhythm of the metal elements of the chair is set by the stitches
from the technique. The technique is seen through a new lens, raw and exposed, bringing it
closer to its identity as a plant.
The Collection zooms in the Bunho technique - a unique portuguese basketry technique that shapes the natural fiber Bulrush (Schoenoplectrus Palla), into a intricate mesh of knots and stitches.
Nowadays, the Bunho technique is kept by the hands and know-how of only two artisans in Europe, One of them is Manuel Ferreira...

Candeeiro Pendant Lamp by Macheia
Handmade In Portugal.
Dimensions: Ø 80 x H 90 cm.
Materials: Natural dried bulrush and galvanized iron.
Candeeiro represents a play of concepts - to shed a light, literally, to the Bunho technique. Unconventionally displayed in the ceiling, the wheel is supported by minimal metal structures that hold the electrical mechanism. The reflecting disc, similar in shape to other elements of the collection, solidifies the metal as a complementing material to bulrush.
