CANDY Ottoman-stool Designer: Marta Figueiredo

2/24 Byron Street North Melbourne, VIC 3051(by appointment only)0423 818 [email protected]

This ottoman is an eye candy object! Feminine, glamorous and absolutely fabulous with simple shapes and frills, the “Candy-Stool” remind us of a bonbon.

The “Candy” is part of the totem family created to showcase the colourfulness and opulent 3D-stitches of the burel fabric. The ottoman’s design was based on the curly-frills of the “Cortes” stitch and the way this pattern moulds to round shapes. Each loop of the fabric is a labour of love individually hand cut at the burel factory in the Portuguese Mountains. The outstanding quality of the woven felt makes burel fabric perfect for commercial use.

The Candy ottoman both heightens and lightens the experience of any space - be it a hotel lobby or a home. With its vibrant tricolour combination, Candy is vivacious, fun and an original art piece that is a must for any collection!!

MOON CORAL - Tapestry ArtDesigner: Vanessa Barragão & Marta Figueiredo


Coral-Moon is an extraordinary composition in textile, stone and brass in homage to the tragic bleaching of the Great Barrier Reef’s coral.The piece was broken in two shifting half moon forms which allude to the tides and the fragile balance of the coral reef ecosystem.The wavy and frothy textures of the green marble reference the ocean, while the delicate tapestry mimics the organic shapes and textures of the dying underwater flora and fauna, such as fringing reefs and barnacles.

The artist’s tapestry was made using various hand-crafted, fiber art techniques, including latch hooking, crochet, weaving, knitting, basketry and felt. The brass frame for Vanessa’s tapestry was forged by metal artisans in Porto. The marble “Verde” was the final step of the assemblage sourced here in Melbourne

Coral-Moon is a heartfelt poem from the other side of the world reminding us of this fading beauty...

ECLIPSE - Ottoman-Coffee Table


Designed in Melbourne by architect Marta Figueiredo, the two-tiered Eclipse coffee table ottoman plays with height, texture and functionality - creating a striking visual piece.

The elevated circular stone top floats above the upholstered base, utilising the cavity as concealed storage. The moon-like surface of the Galaxy Dolomite stone sits motionless, while the upholstered vertical fabric pleats of the base orbit the table with a steady rhythm.

The circular shape of the stone is a fixed form while the upholstered base design was developed to be stretched or shrunk in size, alluding to eclipsing forms.

Working with our local upholsterer we have achieved an elegant blend of beauty and function. The Eclipse is a dynamic and sophisticated coffee table suitable for any sized space commercial or residential, with the option of 600mm or 1000mm diameter stone top and customisable base.

Iva Viana’s work depicts a special love for botanical, organic and sometimes surrealist concepts.When Iva created the Flower collection, she was mesmerised with the beauty and scale of the Magnolia petals, a prehistoric flower. Camellia was the next inspiration, drawn from Portuguese Romantic literature period. Both trees are very common in Portuguese gardens and were brought from Japan in the 16th century during “the age of discovery”.

Then came the Lotus. Iva was interested in the sculptural shape of this flower and the challenges brought by its form and to capture the beauty.Inspired by the traditional techniques of stucco moulding, Iva Viana develops and creates objects that arise both from the fascination with the heritage left by the Portuguese masters and the desire of reinterpreting it.

FIGGOSCOPE CURATES ROSETTE ARTIST: IVA VIANA SCULPTURE ATELIER


We chose this almost life-like sculpture for the incredible surface detail that was given by the artist. One can read the fingerprints, skin texture and the hairs of a human hand.The strong hand gesture that directs your eye, draws inspiration from Michaelangelo’s the “Creation of Adam” which the artist says “was a non-intentional correlation at first sight”.

Inspired by the traditional techniques of stucco moulding, Iva Viana develops and creates at her atelier objects that arise both from the fascination with the heritage left by the Portuguese masters and the desire of reinterpreting it.The “creation hand” by Iva Viana is an intriguing classic piece that exudes strength and physicality when displayed alone in a minimalist setting.

FOLKIFUNKI - BY JAIME HAYON BRAND: VISTA ALEGRE


Folkifunki is a new collection for Vista Alegre, the renowned porcelain company founded in 1824 in Portugal. Hayon explores the boundaries between Portuguese folk culture and his own imaginative world, to create a number of unique pieces of art with character.The inspiration of the details that constitute each piece comes from his vision of what Portugal is: Iconic elements like the rooster, the fishes, the animals, as well as the countryside and the details of the tiles, all translated from Hayon point of view; full of fantasy, where imagination has no limits.The shapes of the decorative pieces are folkloric, surreal, rural and with a dash of humour. Art and craftsmanship in producing the porcelain and applying decorations - watercolour, gold lines and details – make this a very special set.The interaction with each piece is unique, different and exciting.
