As a proposal for a flexible layout aligned with the conscious use of materials, the idea of a folding armchair emerged. The concept of this piece originated from a simple study with a napkin, aiming to create a piece of furniture using the least amount of material possible — a single sheet.
This sheet, in scale and real use, is the plywood, cut and arranged with mechanisms and metal fittings, ensuring alignment and proportions necessary to guarantee the ergonomics of the piece.
Custom-developed, the Encaixe Table was created in response to residents' demand for furniture that would facilitate a potential future move. The solution adopted for the dining table — one of the largest items in the home — was a simple assembly system made up of three pieces of wood that fit together, eliminating the need for hardware.
The recessed legs and the use of walnut wood align the piece with the other carpentries in the Sagitarius residential project. The semi-circular opening in the tabletop not only enhances the construction detail but also reveals the joints, highlighting the care in the design and the functionality of the furniture.
