DESIGN AUTORAL
The Sambinha Bench is an exercise in synthesis and fluidity. Designed to capture the rhythm and lightness of Brazilian culture, the piece uses wood as a foundation for curves that seem to float in space. It is a celebration of essential design, where every angle is considered not only for seating, but also for visual and tactile rest.
With a silhouette that evokes movement and hospitality, the Sambinha Bench moves between furniture and sculpture. Its minimalist structure conceals a complex construction logic that ensures stability and comfort, making it a versatile piece that adapts to different spatial narratives without losing its singular identity.
The piece is carved from high-quality solid wood, selected for its grain and tonal variations that tell the story of the material itself. The finish, achieved through fine woodworking techniques, creates a soft satin touch that invites interaction and reinforces Samba Design’s commitment to craftsmanship and durability.
“Sambinha was born when we acquired a batch of mill wood. Among many different pieces, each with its own function, the mill rollers stood out: completely solid, with unique shapes and full of traces of time. One day, while observing their forms and understanding the history they carried, the idea emerged to transform them. We refined the raw shape and created Sambinha, making the most of this very special material.”
