About the Item
Cafofo shelves by Mameluca
Material:Various Brazilian reclaimed wood & acrylic & carbon steel
Dimensions: D125 x W60 x H195 cm
Favela (slum) was a place of high inspiration for tropicalists. It was a place to search for the people’s root, dreams and needs. From Mangueira Hill, Hélio Oiticica explored the slums architecture. From there on, in 1967, he featured Tropicália work at the Museum of Modern Art of Rio de Janeiro (MAM) over the New Objectivity exhibition. “The act of walking in the installation produces a feeling of stepping back on the floor.” – Hélio Oiticica.
"Our goal with Design is to tell stories, generating questions, emotions and discoveries through human senses. Contemporary design transcends basic survival needs and leads us to a poetic design of new information and experiences."
The studio was launched in 2010 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. After 10 years, it’s time to cross the Atlantic and explore the old world not only historically but the way the old has being reinvented everyday based on the needs of the new. We are still in a transitional atmosphere without a physical space, but full of expectations with the new horizon.

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.
