Furniture collective Bossa has collaborated with São Paulo-based designer Lucas Recchia (1992), creating an online exhibition of his new Morfa series with a number of pieces developed from 2019 to 2021. Hailing from the south of Brazil, Recchia’s career only started in 2018 with a solo exhibition for avant-garde design gallery Firma Casa in São Paulo and quickly established a name for himself by combining recycled glass with ancient techniques and using solar energy. The artist currently works in his atelier in downtown São Paulo, where he develops his new projects with a group of local artisans. With a focus on how to reuse traditional materials, besides glass, bronze, aluminium and Brazilian stones. Recchia’s brings a new approach to glass using new new techniques developed with his team of artisans. Glass, already produced for millennia, is the substantial material in his designs, assuming structural function. Fragile, texturised, and translucent, but also firm, heavy and organic. The Morfa Series has been inspired by this advancement in glass techniques, comprising of five side tables in various shapes and sizes. Recchia is represented in the U.S. by Bossa Furniture and in Europe by Rossana Orlandi gallery.
Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
