Armchair

Luar

The Luar armchair is the result of a transformation into a piece of furniture of the iconographic stone sidewalk patterns of Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, the designers' hometown. The armchair presents a composition of contrasts: Wood, with all its slenderness and transparency, contrasts with upholstered elements that are robust, soft and comfortable. Its shape comes from a technique that the companies Lattoog and Schuster have researched over ten years. Pressed wood micro laminates that allow seamless, curvilinear, and highly resistant structures, with optimal use of the material.

Shelf

Hone

Hone shelf is a timeless and magnetic design inspired by natural forms, and arises as a reinterpretation of a traditional shelf through a conceptual alteration of the physical properties of the material. In this way, the solid wood becomes elastic in a conceptual way. By doing so, the vertical supports stretch outwards isolating the horizontal planes, giving movement to the whole piece and promoting load transmission. The aim is to highlight the organic essence of the piece, its living personality and to contrast the strength of its mass with the lightness and subtle contact with the ground.

Xu Wei

Hidden in the ancient city with a history of 2,500 years, the project is fused with ambient small-scale residences. The lighting design is low-key and introverted, without noise or disturbing people. It uses light in a restraining yet precise manner, to balance the relationship between lighting and building, landscape and people and highlight the charm of architecture, a sense of depth of distant and close views of Xu Wei's ink wash painting and the night atmosphere and appreciation value of architecture and surroundings. It creates modes for various scenes in the urban cultural space.
