Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- An outstanding feature of the Genipabu Sideboard is its seamlessly integrated wine storage, where the rhythmic triangular structures echo the dynamic formations of the dunes. Additionally, the door handles, sculpted with smooth, flowing curves, mimic the wind-carved shapes of the sand, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality. This fusion of form and purpose makes the piece not only a statement in design but also a tribute to nature’s artistry

- Production Technology
- Base structure in MDF coated with natural wood veneers and details (upper wine rack) machined with CNC. External parts made of certified solid wood, treated with a natural semi-gloss carnauba wax finish, offering a fully sustainable option. The wax is a natural product obtained from the extraction and processing of the waxy powder from the leaves of the Carnaubeira or Carnaúba palm.
- Inspiration
- The Genipabu Sideboard/Buffer is inspired by the stunning Genipabu Dunes, where the wind sculpts the sands into enchanting landscapes. A landmark in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, the dunes offer a unique experience to visitors. Their rhythmic triangular structures also serve as a small wine cellar. The design captures the fluidity of wind-shaped sands, forming sinuous curves that create striking visual textures.
- Project Duration
- The project is the result of a partnership between the Studio and Movew, one of several concepts developed at the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025. Technical visits and both in-person and remote meetings were held in the cities of Natal – RN and João Pessoa – PB.
