Simplicity and elegance became clichés to describe anything between something and nothing. However, when laying the eyes on the Brasilia chair, it is possible to bring to mind the most honest meaning of both adjectives. The form of the chair reflects the essence of the act of sitting, which is the temporary repose in contrast with reclining indefinitely under the shadow of the idleness. Its wood massive pieces give way to delicate lines between curves and straight angles composing a dynamic and visually light object.
Scheel Architect is an architecture and design studio with its production characterized by the emphasis on the comprehension of the constructive and production techniques, on the materials and on the practical involvement in the execution of the projects, regardless the scale and purpose of the object. The creation methodology emerges freely in the path that links abstract and concrete thinking, which represents the understanding of the material production’s necessities. Scheel opened its doors in 2013 and has been working for a variety of clients from the private sector with both, architecture project and construction works execution. Currently, besides the activities already mentioned, it is developing the first fully manufactured prototype of a house, using the techniques of modular construction. The prototype will start to be built on March 2019.
