The design of the “Temes” armchair is born from the fusion of two icons of modern design: Joaquim Tenreiro’s chair designed in the 40s-50s and Charles and Ray Eames’ ´La Chaise´, made in 1948.

The name of the armchair itself also plays with the concept of fusion: Tenreiro + Eames = Temes.

In line with the concept of “cultural anthropophagy”, launched by Oswald de Andrade in 1928 – the idea of devouring colonizing culture and transforming it into Brazilian and revolutionary culture, the Temes armchair presents strong references to Brazilian roots and culture: Miscegenation, syncretism and “viralism”.

A work that was recently defined by journalist Suzete Aché as “Antropofagia Carioca”.
