The continuous structure required detailed studies of proportions and woodworking techniques to ensure both durability and comfort. Additionally, sourcing sustainable materials and suppliers committed to ecological practices added complexity to the process. Overcoming these challenges resulted in a sophisticated, functional, and environmentally responsible piece.

The goal was to create an armchair that balanced comfort, aesthetics, and environmental responsibility. Different types of wood and fabrics were analyzed, prioritizing certified suppliers. The methodology involved prototyping and ergonomic testing. The result is a piece that combines durability, versatility, and reduced environmental impact.

- Inspired by the gentle curves of the Serra Paranaense, the Dolomite Armchair reflects the pursuit of a design that harmonizes with nature and contemporary well-being. Its concept unites aesthetics and functionality, creating a refuge for moments of contemplation.

Produced by local artisans, it combines high-quality craftsmanship with sustainability, promoting responsible material use and strengthening the regional economy.
