Filipe Alarcão - Rara and Memo Desk
RARA
The Rara benches were designed along RARA Design Residency during the Walk&Talk Arts Festival at Azzore island of S. Miguel, in 2019. The aim of the residency was to work with local artisans and endogenous materials like the abundant cryptomeria wood (Crytpomeria Japonica) and wicker, which is used mainly in basketry. The wicker is tied up around the wooden pieces reinforcing its structure thus creating a new and perfect symbiosis between the two materials.
