Brastilo will be introducing several of Pieter's designs at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) this May in New York City. Look for a fresh look in chairs and consoles that are contemporary but, are inspired by the natural aspects of the Brazilian country-side. "We have pushed the envelope in the way wood is graphically and sculpturally used. This is an aggressive, edgy and elegant look for us," said Isaque Kirschner.
Pieter who is based in Antwerp, Belgium was schooled in European modernism and Bauhaus design. However, after visiting Brazil for an extensive period of time came away with an appreciation of the many local cultures and its long history of modern contemporary furniture.
"I was first drawn to Brastilo because of their wood working capabilities and their philosophy of making sustainable products," said Pieter. "This collaboration gives me the opportunity to work with solid wood. This is a medium that allows me to shape the wood in unusual but contemporary ways. I enjoy working with Brastilo's skilled craftsman and was impressed with their knowledge. I would like to honor their skills through my designs."
