Terra Do Brazil

Description

Brazil’s mix of Asian, African, European and indigenous cultures and tastes has created some very startling styles. And some of the chicest pieces are made of such unlikely “found” materials as shaving brushes, bicycle tires and squeegee heads.
One of the major players is Terra Do Brazil, a consortium of manufacturers operating from Doral, FL. Its furnishings include the Landscape series, which makes use of <i>vime</i>, a fast-growing vine (some Americans are calling it “the kudzu of Brazil”). The vine is cut and tied together with rope, like so many bundles of sturdy kindling, to form the frames of sofas and beds and the structure of occasional pieces. (via Elements of Living)
