There are stories made of time, to be preserved and revived, linked to tradition and to personal memories. The idea begins from the valorisation of carpets as a support, giving them a new function of being able to be used as seats.

The option of different dimensions, one wider and lower, the other taller and thinner, suggests the idea of malleability adapted to be used, on a more rigid hidden support.

These are occasional stories, an old carpet from a house that needs to be emptied, the encounter between a more conventional structure and a hybrid form that is not only visual, linking to tradition and experimentation of new forms. The casual nature of the confront between these two materials, between these two forms with different scales, reflects the naturalness of each other's meeting, giving rise to an informal relationship between things.

Ph. Joao Lacerda Moreira
