João do Pau Nest wall separating + sculpture by MamelucaMaterial: Vime Branches, Pallets, othersDimensions: D 300x H 250 cmBirds build huge nests with twigs (reason of common name). Twigs are relatively large for bird size. The couple acts in partnership in the construction of the house, which will be used throughout the year by both and the litter (even after flying) as a shelter. When finishing the first nest, the couple continues placing material and building others, in sequence. With this, the support branch begins to hang and to be covered of material, standing out in the landscape. In extreme cases, the nest reaches 2 meters in length. The hatchery is lined by thick layer of feathers, paina, etc., of spherical shape. The nest is usually located in isolated trees, at the end of flexible branches, that end up bending with the excess weight. Its construction can occur with the participation of the whole group and not just the couple. Put 3 eggs."Our goal with Design is to tell stories, generating questions, emotions and discoveries through human senses. Contemporary design transcends basic survival needs and leads us to a poetic design of new information and experiences."The studio was launched in 2010 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. After 10 years, it’s time to cross the Atlantic and explore the old world not only historically but the way the old has being reinvented everyday based on the needs of the new. We are still in a transitional atmosphere without a physical space, but full of expectations with the new horizon.
