Please contact us.The Terra Table draws its essence from the “terra roxa” landscapes of Minas Gerais, where the rich, iron-infused clay paints the earth in deep, warm hues. This distinct color and texture echo the table's design, inspired by ancient native Brazilian sculptures. For Nayara, these forms aren’t just artistic; they resonate with personal memories—of seeing the vibrant red soil on drives through the countryside, and the traditional water filters that brought the earth into everyday life.Combining the hand-shaped bases with a steel top, the Terra Table is about more than just contrast; it’s about connection. The imperfections in the top weren’t just accepted; they were necessary, allowing the industrialelement to find its place alongside the organic, tactile bases. Together, they create a seamless dialogue, where each element enhances the other, balancing rugged textures with fluid lines.Produced in limited editions, each table embraces subtle variations that make it unique. The Terra Table embodies aeny studio’s philosophy: to see beauty in the unrefined, to find strength in imperfections, and to honor the connections between different forms, materials, and stories.Founded by Nayara Nascimento, aeny studio challenges conventional design by transforming discarded and repurposed materials into sculptural objects that are both expressive and functional. Drawing inspiration from the raw, untamed beauty of nature, a deep connection to her native Brazilian heritage, and a neurodivergent perspective, Nayara’s work embodies themes of resilience, imperfection, and transformation. Each piece invites viewers to see beyond function or decoration, revealing deeper narratives that explore the unexpected beauty in raw, unrefined forms.Nayara’s process is led by an instinctive engagement with the materials, allowing her to embrace their natural textures, quirks, and irregularities. Whether working with wood, metal, or gypsum, she treats each creation as an opportunity to explore new possibilities, letting the materials guide the design. The hands-on, experimental approach means no two pieces are alike—each object is a testament to the fluid, organic nature of creation, where unexpected outcomes are celebrated, not corrected.In an industry driven by uniformity and mass production, aeny studio’s approach is intentionally slow and mindful, letting each piece emerge at its own pace. This deliberate method allows for moments of spontaneity and unplanned gestures to become integral parts of the design, making each piece feel deeply personal yet universally relatable. By honoring theimperfect, Nayara’s work challenges us to reconsider what we value, encouraging a return to a more instinctive, tactile way of seeing and engaging with the world.'My work is a response to this desire to 'switch off' and reconnect without instinct - a quiet, inexplicable voice inside of us communicating an emotion or feeling that only art or music can convey. In our fast- paced technological world, it seems increasingly vital that we don't render ourselves blind to that deep primal language, that is so often undervalued'.
