The India Armchair marks a new moment in Ricardo van Steen's career: the result of a long-standing desire to combine architecture and engineering in a single work. The armchair – which is half indigenous basket and half 1970s – is part of a line of furniture that will be presented at Baixo Augusta during DW!, called Mobília Tempo. The piece refers to native Brazilian crafts, annatto, the hummingbird's iridescence and martial arts gloves. In addition to this, the MARXii planters, the K line of chairs, the Pira table set, the rugs with symbols and patterns from Xingu cultures and the Brasilianas wall coverings will also be on display.

Time, geometry and balance: three principles that led to the design of the Duna lamp, a new Lumini product that was born spontaneously from the architecture of Domingos Pascali and Sarkis Semerdijan. Its hourglass function, combined with its simple circular geometry, allows for the creation of a sensory experience, enhanced by the different light effects that the interaction between the hourglass’ circumference and the sand produces.

Lumini also presents the Fina lamp, designed by Fernando Prado – who is also the brand’s creative director. It aims to exert little visual interference in the environment, while emitting efficient and comfortable light. Covered in aluminum, the lamp has an intelligent dimmer system, which activates and controls the light intensity without compromising its quality.

Although contemporary, the pieces reflect the designer's understanding of the house as a refuge, part of a loving atmosphere, and of furniture as a way of expressing new and old sensations. It is in this naturalness that Bruno refers to regional traditions, especially those of Rio Grande do Sul.

The pieces were created from carnauba leaves, a tree typical of the Várzea Queimada region in Piauí, where they were produced. The creation process involves drying, scraping, dusting, opening the straw, assembling the weaves and sewing, in a work that values the local production of the Jaicó community and Brazilianness.

The sketch outlines the piece Dois Irmãos, a limited release by Estúdio Campana at DW!. The 35-year history of the Campana family is celebrated in the bench, with a wire structure covered in woven wicker, joining two wooden chairs using genuinely Brazilian manual techniques. Partnership and complicity are values that the piece conveys, which can be seen at Firma Casa, on Alameda Gabriel.

The celebration continues in a Campana installation at Casa de Vidro – not surprisingly, the project was chosen because it was the project and home of Lina Bo Bardi, a great reference to the studio. The piassava columns bring nature into the architecture, opposing the external and internal, the built and natural. Also, the collection of Uncomfortable miniatures will be launched – iron pieces, created in the 80s, which highlighted imperfection and expressed a strong artistic content.
