SERGIO BATISTA

The Independência Móveis collection was inspired by the first refrigerators manufactured in the 19th century, known as iceboxes. These wooden boxes were insulated with layers of insulating materials, such as cork, straw or sawdust, and designed to maintain a cool temperature through the use of blocks of ice placed in special compartments inside the box. Based on this concept, a complete line of solid wood and metal furniture was developed, with antique design hinges, including a counter, sideboard, table and chairs. These pieces are made with Peroba Rosa de Demolition wood, a solid wood that originates from demolished houses and buildings, providing a special touch of history and exclusivity to each piece. The use of demolition wood in its furniture is one of the ways that Independência Móveis values the preservation of the environment and sustainability in its activities. In addition, demolition solid wood furniture is ideal for those who value the history and quality of wooden furniture. This vintage collection can be used in different spaces, such as balconies, gourmet kiosks for barbecues or indoors. They can also be adapted with a sink, a stove or a beer cooler, making the space completely personalized and extremely creative. With a design that recalls the history of iceboxes, the vintage collection by Independência Móveis brings a touch of nostalgia and exclusivity to any environment, combining the beauty of demolition wood with the functionality of well-thought-out and well- built furniture. Each piece is unique and has a story to tell, making the experience of owning one of these pieces of furniture even more special.
