Gera

Gera is a wooden design informed by Brazilian modernist furniture and the structural clarity present in the work of Geraldo de Barros. Crafted from certified Brazilian jequitiba wood and natural leather, it contains no metal components or visible fasteners. Concealed joinery preserves visual continuity, while tensioned leather surfaces respond to the body. Through material reduction, responsible sourcing, and structural precision, the work articulates an investigation into ergonomics and sustainable permanence.

NT5

Nt5 is an electric scooter designed for urban travel. The body uses a full metal architecture, formed by precision sheet metal stamping and seamless welding, and key areas are treated with multi layer protective coatings. The headlamp and reflector are combined into one low profile unit mounted above the front wheel. Front and rear suspension with springs absorbs road irregularities. A folding mechanism allows compact storage. Standardized mounting points at the rear accept racks, panniers and other accessories, so riders can adapt the scooter to daily needs.

Stoa

Stoa is a chess set designed to be minimal without distracting from the character of each piece. While many minimal sets abstract forms to the point of obscuring them, Stoa preserves recognizability and focus. Crafted from recycled aluminum with a glass bead blasted finish, each piece is weighted for optimal balance, offering a precise, tactile, and premium experience, equally suited as a display piece in refined architectural settings or for immersive gameplay.
