KABURÉ

We value using certified and quality wood. In addition to the aesthetic beauty of licensed native raw materials, density is an important factor in choosing the wood species we select. This physical characteristic makes it possible to increase the quality of the finishes, improve the precision of the cuts and guarantee excellent durability of the furniture. We know that having a quality raw material available is not enough to have a good finished product, that's why we seek to work only with woodworkers who have dedicated their lives to working with wood. Excellent professionals who have know-how capable of substantially transcending technical limitations and making possible the development of each of the products developed in wood.

The seat and back of the armchair receive a combination of special foams capable of making your sitting experience
more pleasant. In addition to the use of Italian elastic belts and combinations of foam hardness depending on the use, we value and invest in the tactile feel of our pieces.
To make the product comfortable before sitting, we use special types of foam for the finish. Hiper Soft is the foam used to give a pleasant touch to the back (image), in addition to preserving the aesthetic lines and proportion of the product indefinitely. In the seat, we use Ultracel, as the last layer of foam to provide more durability, comfort, and stability when sitting.

KABURÉ
KABURÉ

Workers, Tarsila do Amaral, 1933.

“Mestiço!
E tenho no peito uma alma grande
uma alma feita de adição como 1 e 1 são 2.”

Canção do Mestiço, Francisco José Tenreiro.

The word Kaburé originates from the Tupi dialect and represents the individual originating from the union between two different peoples. The choice of the name for the armchair is justified due to the compositions associated with the selected materials, as well as its application, resulting in a piece that is characterized by the multiplicity of shapes and finishes.

The flexible and tactile fabric is positioned to fill voids or give space to the sides in solid wood, generating a symbiotic relationship, not only between the physical characteristics of the materials but also under the formal aspects of the chair. When immersed within the universe of details, the Kaburé concept is applied systematically, being able to unify opposing elements, in a single form, contributing to the continuity of the lines and structuring the overall personality of the ensemble. Therefore, we sought to establish two perceptual levels, in the first we have as a result of the generalist look, a vigorous profile, but in a second moment, when observed in a particular way, it delineates its differences and contrasts, exposing the essence of its personality.

The material aspect of this piece justifies its name which also overflows in meaning and gives light to a concept that traces a parallel between product and people. We’re the children of a pluricultural dance that leaves its footprints through generations, sowing in national soil the beauty of its descendants. Acknowledging that the Brazilian people are marked by diversity constitutes an important bond between the formal aspects of the armchair, which are also plural, and is capable of outlining a general but captivating overview of both the piece and the people who manufacture it.
