Jacarandá Collection
Concept Design: Arthur Casas
Creative Product Designer: Munari El-Khatib III
Creative Product Designer: Caio Armbrust
Developed by Riva in partnership with Studio Arthur Casas.
Materials: Jacarandá wood and Stainless Steel or Silver.
The idea of designing a set of utensils and accessories as an extension of the Studio´s work drove the creation of this line, the second to be developed for the Brazilian brand Riva. The use of wood seeks to strike up a dialogue with the language of our projects, with product development continuing and complementing our architectural work.
As a counterpoint to the cold rigidity of metal, and simultaneously underscoring its shine, wood in natural hues provides a pleasant texture that does not conduct heat. The format, meanwhile, designed for ergonomic ease in handling (with the weight of each piece taken into account), is marked by a fluid union between raw and polished materials.
These characteristics lend personality to the utensils and enrich their use and function, altering one´s relationship to the food and hand, just as the right glass can transform the taste of a wine.
