This project is taking place in the new Covet Town, a Design
& Craftsmanship city. An enormous project of Covet Group
that is planned to welcome about 2500 people and promises to
be a creative centre for design lovers. This new project combines
different creative working spaces, from design studios and
prototyping as well as production ateliers, museum, marketing
players, and editorial teams. In one of these spaces of Covet Town,
the artistic ateliers created 12 exquisites and one-of-a-kind stools.
The pioneering handcrafted creations will be displayed in some
of the greatest events of craftsmanship like the Luxury Design
Craftsmanship Summit 2019, in Paris, France.
The first challenge is to recreate a specific design stool called
Erosion, originally designed by Boca do Lobo, with the specific
crafts skills of every artisan in the artistic atelier. The final goal
is the chance to stand out with pioneering handcrafted creations
integrated into a curated Collection.
One of the stools is now concluded and it was made with the
ancient art of marquetry. The technique used refers to the process
of applying thin slices of wood to the structure of the piece, to
form the final decorative pattern.
