ABOUT PRODUCT
In Brazil, we have several terrains with their ups and downs, allowing for incredible landscapes both from their viewpoints and from their valleys. The line suggests the welcome that the connection with nature brings us; seeking to bring moments of our affective memory. Moments like a simple rest on a lawn, where we can simply disconnect and feel only the nature around us. The composition that constitutes the shape of the line is an isometric geometry, using quadrilaterals and their fittings between angles. Making the piece more attractive to the user by applying Gestalt principles – geometry, repetition, similarity, unity and closure. Generating a classic, undated piece; a lasting product.
