Rede Chair
The Rede Chair combines modern design with traditional chair-making joinery, unified by the distinctive and ergonomic use of caroá cord. The cord is handcrafted by the Jatobazinho community in Brazil (the only place where this fiber is found), bringing a unique story and added character to the chair.Its refined and lightweight frame, curved backrest, and the black Japanese ink tones are beautifully contrasted by the texture of the caroá cord. This balance gives the Rede Chair a strong presence, allowing it to stand alone as a statement piece or to work harmoniously as a complete set around a dining table.

The Process
The use of specific techniques and materials always takes into account their natural characteristics. I blend traditional military methods, navigating through Japanese craftsmanship and the practices of Brazilian Amazon tribes . I’m deeply intrigued by the history and properties of natural materials, learning from them, about them, and observing how they influence the final outcome of each piece.
I had the honor of spending time and exchanging knowledge with the Jatobazinho community in Piauí. I was able to witness the entire process of preparing rope from the fibers of the Caroá plant, an ancestral technique that is unfortunately becoming very rare today.
