GURGEL & FELIPE BEZERRA
Poltrona Basquette is displayed Paris Design Week 6 - 13 September 2014 .
Basquete as the name
suggest, is an elegant and extremely comfortable chair inspired by a
simple basketball. We were
searching for something unusual and
original, and then this interesting idea came to our mind. Deforming a basketball could
change our perspective as
the environment we live. It’s fluid and organic
design allow us to seat perfectly, because the key point of this project is comfort.

MULA PRETA DESIGN
ANDRE GURGEL & FELIPE BEZERRA
Mula Preta Design
Studio was created in 2012 by architect Felipe Bezerra (1970) and designer
Andre Gurgel (1988), both
from Natal-Brazil, when they decided to be partners as they had a lot in common
regarding creative ideas. The name was inspired in a song of one of the icons
of Northeast Brazil, Luiz Gonzaga, since the main concept is to represent that
region. With that in mind, they putted this culture in evidence
internationally, participating in exhibitions in Paris and Milan, where they
rewarded several awards, as the Platinum A’Design
Award, in 2012 with
Fluens loungechair, and the Silver A’Design
Award, in 2013 with
Centopeia bench, among others
