Part of the 2021 DonFlor Furniture collection, the Tiê table, signed by Daniela Ferro, it’s one of the pieces contemplated at the 34th Design Award of the Museu da Casa Brasileira (Brazilian House Museum), an institution from São Paulo dedicated to Brazilian homes through design and architecture.

Awarded with third place, the piece innovates bringing pottery to an outdoor furniture. Result of two years of research, the Tiê table was developed through exchange with potteries from Campo Largo (PR). “It was very challenging since the work depends a lot of the ability of every artisan, besides, the drying process, that depends on the weather and the burning of the pottery, made in a wood oven. After the finishing process goes through a second burn in high temperature, done at a pottery atelier in Curitiba”, says Daniela.

Tiê was born from the reflection of the origins of pottery, a millennial material, the insight came as a proposition of not ordinary pieces, without losing the essence of the matter.
