São Paulo, Brazil
This furniture collection was conceived as a constructive exploration. Each piece questions the logics of support and span in wood, in direct dialogue with the history of major modern structures.
Inspired by architectures of large spans, the cantilever, the “clear span”, the megastructure, the structural grid, the furniture line translates these figures into a domestic scale, reinventing them in a subtle play between balance and tension.
Each piece becomes a staging of gravity, a reflection on the art of building.
More than a utilitarian object, it is conceived as an architectural model: a tangible reduction of a possible project, a miniature fragment of a world to come.
Thus, these pieces are not isolated objects, but rather miniature architectural essays.
In their wooden materiality, they condense a constructive mindset, a structural rigor, and open the way to the imagination of future buildings.
About Triptyque
Triptyque is a French-Brazilian architecture and urbanism agency known for its naturalist and rationalist approach.
It is led by Guillaume Sibaud and Olivier Raffaëlli, founding partners, trained at the Paris La Seine School of Architecture and the Paris Institute of Urbanism.
Driven by the same interest in contemporary metropolises, and the desire to confront other realities, they founded Triptyque agency in São Paulo in 2000, and in Paris in 2008.
In Latin America and Europe, Triptyque has been developing public and private architecture, urbanism, and interior projects in various fields such as residential, corporate, education, hospitality, healthcare, and research.
The agency also took part in several exhibitions and biennials. Models of some of their designs have been included in museum collections, such the Center Pompidou in Paris and the Guggenheim Museum in New York.
Triptyque has received numerous international awards and their work has been published in many countries.
