Collection TROPOS
+
"All things are metaphors." (Johann Goethe) Tropos, in itself, is the change. It is where the object takes a new shape with a simple word replacement. Metaphors, hyperboles, metonymy... A skin that draws a soul. In the Tropos Collection, Estúdio Iludi pursues, in a few rhetorical traits, the tropical complexity – the irony of bringing to minimalism some of the peculiarities of the so said and sung Brazilianness. What if, instead of curves, we spoke of bends? What if the wood-carved structure gained the delicacy, strength and contemporaneity of the steel with only a laminated dress? Within the natural beauty, a rigid structure, shaped by time and resistance. "Pluralidade brasilis" defines the samba. The line consists of a chair, an armchair and a multiple duo: a bench that serves both as a side table and a seat – and can be used as center table. A sustainable syncretism that, even in straight forms, becomes organic.
