This bench is part of Denuncia collection and was carved from Brazilian raw wood. Its sculptural aspect presents the original wooden texture, and simple and crude form. Most of the production took place at Caldas’ shop in Nova Viçosa and was inspired by local craftsmanship. Each piece of the collection varies slightly depending on the natural materials that were used, which defines their unique and refined character. These peculiarities allowed the Denuncia pieces to blend into the local scenery.
