PARAIBUNA

The Paraibuna (low-back) and Paraitinga (high-back) chairs were designed together, much like the Brazilian rivers from which they take their names. Separate at their source and complementary in their meeting, Paraibuna and Paraitinga converge to form the Paraíba River, creating a gesture of convergence that guides the design of these chairs. Conceived for the dining table, they share structure and language while preserving distinct and highly sculptural identities, allowing for compositions that balance utility and beauty.

​

The Paraibuna chair, presented in this collection, is defined by the meeting of diverse materials. The stainless steel structure establishes lightness and brings the hexagon into the support of the backrest. The acrylic arms, produced with the same constructive logic found in the Bandeira lamp, introduce transparency, warmth, and lightness to the piece. The sheepskin seat expands the tactile experience and creates a direct counterpoint to the rigidity and coolness of the metal. The result is a comfortable chair with a strong presence and multiple angles for observation—indeed, a piece that approaches the sculptural field without losing its function.

​

Together with its counterpart Paraitinga (launched at SP–Arte 2026), the chairs reveal a study on the coexistence of opposites: transparency and texture, tension and release, verticality and horizontality.

Paraibuna and Paraitinga were not conceived merely to accompany a table, but to participate in the environment with the same autonomy as objects that attract the eye and provoke perception.
