PALMA presented by Verso

Palma has the pleasure to present its first furniture collection: "Five pieces - Collection Nº1". Meticulously handcrafted, the creations represent experimentations between different shapes, textures, materials and artisanal techniques, both traditional and self developed by the studio. Exemplifying such approach is the “Pinheiro” floor lamp which explores the relationship between fundamental forms and traditional processes with new and unusual materials, the “B de Bola” coffee table which revisits the tradition of marble trompe-l’oeil through sculptural means and the “Marshmallow" occasional table with its egg-shell mosaic top finished in glossy lacquer and marshmallow shaped legs.

Palma is a creative studio focused on architecture, interior design, furniture design and graphic design established in São Paulo, Brazil in 2020 by Cleo Döbberthin, artist, and Lorenzo Lo Schiavo, architect. Palma's work establishes a dialogue between these practices, hand-crafts and the juxtaposition of multiple styles and epochs, uniting the methodology of architecture with the experimentation and process based practice of an artists’ studio.
The studio’s production, as well as it's research on materials, finishes and techniques is mainly done inside the office/studio, where the duo also organizes exhibitions and launches their furniture collections as part of the “Design na Barra Funda”, an initiative by Palma that aims at fortifying the design community in their neighborhood.
