In the middle of the last decade, the brazilian architect Fernanda Marques began their research in order to produce contemporary furniture design. For a long time, Fernanda has been interested in giving a more authorial approach to their interior projects: then came the idea of giving a bigger autonomy to their creations.
Then, emerged the idea of building a stool, or better, a seating system. As a starting point, her reflections on the cinetic art. As a final result, a furniture of strong presence, and particular sinuosity, that reproduces the movement of a centipide. More than that, a pice that has in the versatility one of its strengths and incorporates definitely the idea of moving to design. Expressing the requirements of the architect, the stool was made of certificated wood and was designed to provide continuous growing, by the attaching of new units to each furniture. In fact, consistent with the concept of design, there are no limitations on the number of units of wood that can be attached to each piece, by means of metallic junctions.
"Just as cinetic art broke with the static condition of the painting, my stool proposes to abandon the fixed condition of the furniturein general," says Fernanda, who designed a seat that can be used both inside and outside the lounge, abolishing still the boundaries between interior and exterior. Not by accident, her furniture was selected to compose the main lounge of the last 2010 Art Bienal of São Paulo, in a building designed by the world famous brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, one of her main influences.
