Il Vaso Formigueiro 001, disegnato da Domingos Tótora per Gardeco, trasforma il cartone riutilizzato in un omaggio scultoreo all'architettura della natura. Ispirato ai termitai di Maria da Fé, in Brasile, ogni vaso è realizzato a mano con polpa di carta riciclata, essiccato al sole e tinto con pigmenti naturali. Con la sua superficie tattile e il suo riferimento radicato alla terra, il pezzo porta calore, texture e narrazione in qualsiasi interno contemporaneo. Un oggetto di design sostenibile che unisce arte e artigianato con uno scopo poetico.

Frequently Asked Questions

What material is the Vaso Formigueiro 001 made from?

The piece is hand-formed from recycled paper pulp, made by processing discarded cardboard collected in and around Domingos Tótora's studio in Maria da Fé, Brazil. The surface is finished with natural pigments and dried in the open air, giving each vessel its distinctive, earthen texture.

Is each Vaso Formigueiro 001 unique?

Yes. Because every piece is hand-formed and sun-dried individually, natural variations in surface texture, tone, and profile occur from one object to the next. These differences are considered intrinsic to the work, not imperfections.

Who is Domingos Tótora?

Domingos Tótora is a Brazilian designer and artist based in Maria da Fé, Minas Gerais, who pioneered a technique of transforming recycled cardboard into sculptural paper pulp objects. His work bridges design and fine art, drawing heavily on the natural forms, materials, and ecology of the Brazilian interior.

How should the Vaso Formigueiro 001 be cared for?

As a paper pulp object, it should be kept away from moisture and direct water contact. It is best treated as a sculptural object rather than a functional vessel. Dust gently with a dry or very lightly dampened cloth.

What is the design concept behind the Formigueiro series?

The series takes its name and formal cues from termite mounds, known in Brazilian Portuguese as formigueiros. Tótora was drawn to these structures as examples of material intelligence: architecture built entirely from local earth through accumulated, incremental labor. The series translates that idea into hand-formed vessels with tactile, terrain-like surfaces.
