3. Antique armchairs and chairs

“This armchair was mined by us at Casas André Luiz. At the Ateliê, We replaced all the wallpaper and restored the structural part of the wood. The fabrics, a colorful patchwork, were selected by hand, with absolute freedom in the prints, to bring to any environment, apart from a unique piece, a lot of joy and personality”.

It may seem like a simple detail, but restored chairs and armchairs, apart from being unique pieces, are also functional, as they are not just decorative items.

5. Doors

In addition to restoring old furniture and giving it a new look, it is possible, through demolition materials, to create something completely new and of excellent quality, guaranteeing durability and a long life for the piece.

Doors can fulfill their real function, giving a unique touch to the entrances of houses or environments, but it is also possible to use them in other ways.

“It’s not just about transforming pieces that already exist and giving them a new meaning, it’s also about creating new pieces from these materials,” concludes Adele.
