“The idea is to bring out in visitors the almost playful memory of a tropical and happy Brazil green and yellow“, he says. “I believe that revisiting our roots and our ancestors is also a way to strengthen our future and enhance our cultural identity”, he adds.
In the foyer, the main wall lined from floor to ceiling with piassava straw (in allusion to indigenous huts) and the Raízes sign illuminated with bamboo pendants produced by the designers Stephanie Ting AND Guilherme B. Oliveirain collaboration with Upper Xingu Indiansthey welcome those who arrive, already signaling what is to come.
Then comes the chef’s kitchen itself, “dressed up”. suggestive wallpaper, with a maxi print of banana leaves. The containers have doors with very thin slats, sometimes in yellow lacquer (which tends towards ocher) sometimes in green lacquer, combined with dark wood panels, which represent the Brazilian wood.
To reinforce the Brazilian nature of the project, the architect Amanda Miranda was curated by a ceramic craftsman from Alagoas Maria Luciene da Silva Siqueira in the production of your space.
Considered one of Brazil’s most important contemporary popular artists, Sil made use of her own works modeled in clay (with particular attention to the famous “Jaqueira” sculpture) and other Brazilian artisans, such as Zé Crente, Elias Vitalino, Jair Tiburcio, Marcos Paulo Lau da Costa AND Andrea Araujo Rocha. The setting also features paintings by artists Laura Villarosa and Ruan Dornellas.
“Our biggest challenge in this project was to create a functional kitchen within a constrained space. We took advantage of some of the original elements of the house, such as the floor and wooden structures, but it was necessary to cover the floors of original work and wardrobes with plasterboard and the ceramics on the walls with plywood panels. Nothing has been demolished or damaged, just temporarily hidden”, he concludes.
