About Fragments Vitu vya Mapambo Endelevu
Fragmentos ni mkusanyiko wa vitu vya mapambo endelevu vilivyotengenezwa kutoka kwa marumaru iliyopandishwa thamani ambayo vinginevyo ingekuwa imetupwa. Kila kipande (malundo, vinara vya mshumaa, na meza ndogo) kinafuata mbinu ya usanifu wa mzunguko, ambapo kiini cha kipengele kimoja kinakuwa malighafi kwa kipengele kingine. Mchakato huu wa kibunifu unakuza ufanisi wa nyenzo huku ukihifadhi uzuri wa asili wa marumaru. Matokeo ni mkusanyiko usiopita wakati unaochanganya maridadi ya kisasa na ufundi wenye uwajibikaji, ukibadilisha mabaki kuwa kazi za sanaa za kisanamu.

- Production Technology
- Fragments is crafted using advanced stone-cutting techniques combined with traditional craftsmanship. Each piece is extracted from the core of another, utilizing precision CNC machining to maximize material efficiency. The finishing process includes hand-polishing and sealing to enhance durability while preserving the natural beauty of the marble. This innovative method ensures zero waste, transforming discarded stone into elegant, sustainable design objects.
- Design Challenge
- The biggest challenge was transforming discarded marble into a cohesive collection without generating additional waste. The nested design required precise CNC cutting to ensure each piece emerged from the core of another, demanding extensive material studies and prototyping. Balancing sustainability with high-end aesthetics was also crucial, proving that circular design can align with luxury without compromising quality or visual appeal.
- Research
- The research explored circular design in furniture and decor, focusing on repurposing discarded marble. Using CNC cutting techniques, we developed a modular, nested approach that minimizes waste, achieving nearly zero material loss. This innovation merges sustainability with luxury, proving that high-end design can be both responsible and beautiful. The study promotes a shift in the industry, encouraging more conscious material use and sustainable product development.
- Inspiration
- Fragments was born from the desire to give new life to discarded marble, transforming waste into timeless design. Inspired by nature's ability to reshape materials over time, the collection follows an organic process: each piece emerging from the core of another. This approach not only minimizes waste but also highlights the beauty of imperfection, embracing sustainability as both a concept and an aesthetic principle.
- Project Duration
- The project started with an idea in March 2023 in Itajai, Santa Catarina, and was completed in September 2024 in Itapema, Santa Catarina, where it was launched to the public in a signature showcase at Araucaria Moveis.
- Operation Flow
- Fragments invites interaction through its sculptural presence and modular concept. The pieces can be displayed individually or as a set, creating a harmonious composition. The vases, candle holders, and table share a design language that emphasizes continuity, as each emerges from the core of another. This approach not only enhances visual cohesion but also reinforces sustainability, offering a conscious and elegant way to incorporate natural materials into everyday spaces.
