DESIGN IS GLOBAL, DESIGN IS SPHERICAL MOVECHO promotes creativity, customarily inviting creators that differentiate themselves through their distinct way of being in the world without alienating themselves from it. Architect Miguel Arruda made an apparently simple proposal. The SPHERICAL constitutes a challenge in terms of the ergonomics of its shape and the nature of the chosen material, cork. This challenge was overcome and is now the foundation for a wide range of options which MOVECHO provides and which has not been concluded but is rather a work in progress, with multiple solutions. 


The SPHERICAL by Miguel Arruda The SPHERICAL was a piece designed to inhabit a sculpture and is now available for a great variety of potential uses. The SPHERICAL’s timelessness dates back to 1968, when Architect Miguel Arruda created a small piece of art that was replicated on a large scale in 2010, at the Cultural Centre of Belém, in Lisbon - the Habitable Sculpture - which is at the origin of this piece of furniture. This MOVECHO piece distinguishes itself through its resilience, ergonomics and warm softness, which are exclusive features of cork.


SPHERICAL HABITAT

MOVECHO established the production of objects for everyday use as its objective in order to participate in the identity it intends to define: a recognizable Habitat, a MOVECHO world that we can experience at different moments of our lives – in our home, in our workplace, in the spaces where we carry out our everyday actions. 


SPHERICAL HABITAT – Public or business PLACES With vast expertise in shopfitting and customization of other special projects, MOVECHO works on different solutions for interior design projects for public spaces or business units, such as shops and offices.


SPHERICAL AS YOU WANT – The Spherical Range MOVECHO has developed the SPHERICAL range thinking of your habitats. From the initial form, we provide different solutions with a diversity that can be multiplied into a number of possible uses.  Issues such as ergonomics, durability and the functions of the different spaces were taken into account throughout the entire SPHERICAL range, to which it is possible to add complementary accessories that create endto-end solutions.
