made with love, in Brazil
The Arco Chair is inspired by the traditions of Capoeira and the instruments that give rhythm to its movement. Its curved silhouette recalls the arc of the berimbau, while the natural textures reflect the material culture of Brazil.
Rattan rope wraps the arms with a tactile honesty, linen cushions bring softness and lightness, and brass accents introduce subtle precision.
Crafted in natural Brazilian wood, the chair balances strength with fluidity: a piece that honors heritage while speaking to contemporary living.
We don’t believe sustainability is something to show off. It’s just how things should be made. Here’s what that looks like in practice:
Materials with a Story
The Arco Chair is made from solid Jequitiba wood, combined with rattan rope, linen, and brass. Every material was chosen with intent: to feel natural, tactile, and connected to its cultural roots.
Thoughtful Craft
Each chair is shaped by artisans at Jequitibá Design, a Brazilian workshop known for precision and respect for tradition. No excess, no unnecessary treatments: only careful making, where every detail has purpose.
Respect in Practice
The partnership with Jequitibá ensures fair conditions for the people who bring these pieces to life. Skilled hands, time, and patience are valued as part of the design itself.
Enduring by Design
The Arco Chair isn’t about fashion or quick impressions. Its form is drawn from cultural tradition, and its build is meant to last: a piece to live with for decades.
Closer to Home
Materials are sourced and crafted locally in Brazil, while our design process integrates digital collaboration from New York. The result: a lighter footprint, and a tighter connection between origin and final piece.
The Arco Chair is produced in collaboration with Jequitibá Design, a Brazilian Gallery and manufacturer recognized for its commitment to quality and respect for natural materials. Their mastery of woodworking and attention to detail allow our design intent to be realized with integrity: from the sourcing of timber to the final finish.
This partnership reflects our shared values: design that is rooted in context, shaped with care, and built to last.
Please note that due to the bespoke nature of our product, the production and delivery process typically takes about 90 to 120 days. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we create a unique and exquisite piece just for you.
