Eight years after its original launch, the Square Armchair returns in 2026, reaffirming its timeless character, uniting tradition and innovation in balanced proportions and valuing the relationship between structure, materiality and ergonomics.
Conceived from a desire to revisit modernism, the piece appropriates straw in an unusual way and explores finishes distinct from the conventional. The overlapping and misaligned forms confer the contemporary feel that has always guided its creation.
In this edition, it features a new cushioned backrest that envelops the wooden structure and adds a layer of comfort and elegance. Thus, the Square Armchair reaffirms itself as an icon of designer Bruno de Carvalho, capable of transcending time while maintaining relevance and identity.

A 100% Brazilian design brand, we specialize in creating exclusive furniture pieces, each signed by one of 14 renowned designers under the curatorship of Clarissa Schneider.
We value care and delicacy—emotion and meaning. For us, every detail counts: from foam crafted with state-of-the-art machinery and raw materials sourced exclusively from Brazil, to partnerships that celebrate the richness of our cultural heritage.
Our creative process unfolds like a grand symphony, gaining rhythm with each stage—from sketching to sculpting, calendering to stitching, machining to cutting.
If the art of bringing furniture to life is akin to conducting an orchestra—with cutting-edge tools in the hands of a skilled team—then our store is a dance of interiors. Designed by Studio Arthur Casas, it was honored with the prestigious Building of the Year 2025 award.
Every choice contributes to a larger harmony. Volumes, proportions, geometries, and fittings—each element sparks dialogue and evokes a sense of meaningful complementarity.
