As well as taking part in a large number of international competitions (including the tsunami memorial in Thailand and the Museum of Tollerance in São Paolo for which they received an honourable mention), the group of four is responsible for restyling an exclusive shopping centre where the extensive glass facade “renews” the traditional concept of the shop window.
Their latest creation, the Treme-treme bookcase (meaning shake), has been designed as a homage to the tropical megalopolis and as a celebration of the creative disorder exuded by its younger inhabitants who seem to live at a samba rhythm. Flexible and modular, the bookcase can assume almost infinite combinations.
Supports and shelves can be inclined and folded at different angles, to the point that the lacquered MDF structure seems to become almost elastic, adapting itself to even the most improbable spaces. The shelves can be closed or open and sized to hold books, objects, plasma or LCD screens and computers. Five sizes are available (S, M, L, XL, XXL) in 17 colours. E.S.
