The factory is in Vespasiano, in the Belo Horizonte metropolitan area. It's not an assembly line: it's a shelf where every step has a bench, and every bench has someone responsible for it.
The structure
It all starts with aluminum. The profile is cut into the dimensions of the design, welded and coated piece by piece. The aluminum was chosen because it doesn't rust, it's light enough for a three-seater sofa to be repositioned by two people, and it accepts the finish that comes next.
Finishing
The structure receives electrostatic paint, which adheres by electrical attraction and covers the entire profile, including the internal areas.
The plot
The last step is the slowest and the one that is not automated. The embroidery is done by hand, thread by thread, following the pattern of the collection. A chair can take an entire day on this bench. This is where the piece gains the texture that appears in the photos and that is only understood up close.
Seven days
For those who specify, this changes the timetable of the work: the furniture is no longer the item that delays the delivery of the project.
