The Trama collection emerges from a shift in perspective. Invited to develop a line of utilitarian objects, the designer finds in discarded production offcuts the starting point of the project. This act of reuse goes beyond an economic and environmental solution, establishing a new aesthetic logic in which waste ceases to be leftover and becomes structure. In dialogue with the tradition of Portuguese silverware—marked by organic textures and cutouts, a legacy present in the Brazilian repertoire—the collection proposes a contemporary, geometric reinterpretation that preserves functionality.

The pieces rest on woven structures made from these stainless steel fragments, creating an ambiguity between density and lightness: the objects appear suspended, as if floating above their own base. This “weave” is not merely ornamental, but an ergonomic structure—in trays and teapots, it becomes the handle itself, integrating form and use with precision and economy of gesture.

Within this process, craftsmanship is reconfigured. By working with what was once discarded, the artisan is invited to reassess their own practice, shifting the value of both material and finish. The care applied to these fragments—now protagonists—reveals an ethical and sensitive dimension of production: more than optimizing resources, Trama redefines relationships between industry and gesture, matter and meaning.
