Quartzo
With a modern style, the Quartzo line brings its grandeur and distinctive, dynamic features inspired by tectonic architecture. The term "tectonic" is derived from the Greek tektonikós, and the meaning is related to architecture, construction, and structure. In this architecture, the structure lines dictate the design of the object, and the form ultimately follows its function.
The strength of these lines was incorporated into the collection, drawing inspiration from these constructions. Hence, its name, Quartzo, refers to an artificial stone highly resistant to shocks, stains, and deep scratches, mirroring the resilience seen in tectonic architectural projects.
For the CabeCasa brand by MadeiraMadeira, a 6-door wardrobe, a 3-drawer dresser, and a bedside table were developed as part of this creation project.
We incorporated the strength and dynamism of tectonic architecture into the handles by adding a diagonal design to one end, which contrasts with the solid color of the doors and drawers.
Creation project developed with Amanda Souza under the supervision of Adriana Zikan.

Exploring hand alternatives
The initial phase of the project focused on developing several handle alternatives, a crucial element to capture the dynamism of the tectonic concept. After evaluating various options, we selected the design that best conveyed this sense of movement, while also being feasible for the supplier to execute. The handle, with its diagonal end, introduces dynamic energy to the design, providing a striking contrast to the solid surfaces of the pieces.
Once the handle design was finalized, we proceeded with the development of the 6-door wardrobe, the bedside table, and the 3-drawer dresser.
