In his first collection exploring woods as the main raw material, designer Guto Indio da Costa, in partnership with San German, presents the Machina & Manus collection, which addresses the relationships between human creation, authorship and craftsmanship, combined with manufacturing processes facilitated by digital technologies. In this case, counterpoints are combined – not in a confrontational way, but in a communion between the digital and manual universes.
The sensual and precise outlines that are typical of the works made by this Rio de Janeiro designer can be reproduced on a rather large scale by means of digital modeling and manufacturing processes that create these wooden items endowed with exceptional three-dimensional effects: these are chairs and armchairs sculpted to the extreme, with refined ergonomics and a technical-organic language that represents this kind of material cyborgism.
Therefore, Machina & Manus is the result of several years in the relationship between designs by Guto Indio da Costa and large-scale manufacturing and digital manufacturing processes, combined with San German’s top-quality woodworking.
The AVA armchair is part of this line, being presented in two versions: the first one is entirely made of wood, and the second one is made of a wooden structure with reinforced polyester upholstery for its backrest and seat. The use of polyester allows the backrest to be bent, which provides significant comfort without requiring any additional mechanisms.
