Canela for Two was designed to be a visually striking lover's bench. It has a low backrest which offers good support while also maintaining a subtle design. Inspiration was taken from a traditional Windsor chair albeit with a modern twist with the copper rod backrest. The wood used was reclaimed Canela Preta from a 200 year old colonial house in Paraty Brazil. In keeping with that history, copper rings with wooden centres were used not to hide the holes left from removing the old nails, but to mark the position that they previously occupied.
Knót was formed between Brazilian architect Renata Gutierrez (nó) and British woodworker James Rowland (knot), both passionate about the beauty, tones and textures of wood. Inspired by natural forms and the simple things in life, knót believes in the importance of fine details, in the return to working with your hands and in taking pleasure in what you do. Their intention is to create simple contemporary designs using only pure materials and natural finishes.
