The Cadeira Gringa by Jabuticasa fuses traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, born from a deep-rooted appreciation for both local culture and global perspectives. Conceived by the renowned design duo Thiago Antonelli and Thélvio Veiga, in collaboration with emerging talents Loic Corthals and Carolina Bonani, the chair captures the essence of Rio de Janeiro’s nostalgic charm and its vibrant culture, while embracing a fresh, youthful energy and global influences. Its clean, curved lines and distinct diagonal legs are a result of rigorous design processes that honor traditional woodworking techniques, constructed entirely from solid Tauari wood.

The team at Jabuticasa has meticulously planned each aspect of Cadeira Gringa, from initial design exercises to crafting detailed prototypes. The chair is available in natural and ebony finishes that highlight the wood’s rich grain. For those seeking a bolder look, a lacquered version offers a range of contemporary colors, each adding a vibrant touch to the classic form. With a focus on simplicity, precision, and functionality, the project embodies the Brazilian studio’s dedication to creating pieces that are as stylish as they are practical.
