| DESIGN NAME: Peri PRIMARY FUNCTION: Chair INSPIRATION: The inspiration for the Peri chair came from the rich Tupi Guarani culture and its deep connection with nature. The concept of "Peri" as guardian of the forests and rivers motivated the creation of a design that honors this spiritual heritage. The choice of materials and shapes aims to reflect ancestral wisdom and the harmony between humans and the environment, providing a product that is both a cultural tribute and a functional furniture piece. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Peri is a chair that symbolizes spiritual connection and harmony with nature, inspired by the Tupi Guarani word meaning "field of reeds." Made with sustainable materials, its design reflects the indigenous worldview, incorporating ancestral wisdom and environmental preservation. This project stands out for uniting aesthetics and functionality, promoting a relationship of respect and reverence for nature. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: With an ergonomic design that provides comfort to the user. Interacting with the object is intuitive, allowing anyone to appreciate its functionality and natural beauty. The finishing and selected materials ensure durability and easy maintenance. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project was developed within a ten-month timeframe, from the creation of initial sketches to the final piece. All stages took place in the cities of Maravilha and Santa Helena. Within this timeframe, several prototypes were developed to verify correct ergonomics and to refine and improve specific design elements. It was publicly presented in Florianópolis as part of the Território collection. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Furniture Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The Peri chair is made using sustainable wood for the base and sisal for the seat and backrest. Its production results from the symbiosis between technology and craftsmanship, where state-of-the-art CNC machines sculpt the organic design into the wood, while manual finishing creates the identity and soul of each piece. Sisal, a natural and biodegradable fiber, is renowned for its durability and sustainable origin, widely used in traditional craftsmanship. The combination of these indigenous artisan techniques with modern eco-friendly production methods ensures a durable and environmentally responsible product. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 610 mm x 545 mm x 845 mm Solid wood base, sisal seat and backrest. TAGS: Peri, chair, Tupi Guarani, sustainability, indigenous craftsmanship, ecological design, nature, environmental respect, harmony. RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The research for the Peri chair involved an ethnographic investigation into the Tupi Guarani culture and its traditional craftsmanship methods. The goal was to create a design that reflected this cultural heritage. CHALLENGE: The biggest challenge was integrating traditional techniques with modern production processes while ensuring the sustainability of materials. We used sisal to represent the fibers traditionally used by the Tupi-Guarani in braided forms, maintaining traditions and embracing sustainability. The lack of formal documentation on Tupi-Guarani artisanal methods required an adaptive and collaborative approach.

NAME: Luan Del Savio PROFILE: Through my interpretation, I seek to perceive the natural essence that surrounds us in order to translate it into form and function. My work, anchored in contemporaneity, focuses on simplification with the objective of creating connections. The uniqueness of Brazilian design is expressed in the gentle curves and natural wood grain patterns, as well as in the regional stories that each piece carries. In this context, wood, upholstery, and steel become protagonists, performing a dance between vitality and resilience, symbolizing the metaphor of materials shaping to give life to new ideas. I deeply believe that furniture transcends its function, aiming to establish an emotional connection with those who use it. Therefore, I meticulously prioritize the balance between functionality and elegance, adopting an aesthetic marked by purity and simplicity that can adapt to diverse interpretations and projects. To me, my designs are not confined to the category of objects; they are, above all, storytellers deeply intertwined with people's everyday lives, enriching their experiences with meaning and authenticity. |
