ESTUDIOBOLA
Branded design , formal simplicity and elegance at all costs . This is the backbone of the work developed by architects Flavio Borsato and Mauricio Lamosa at estudiobola . What they seek is to build a structured bridge toward the balance of three pillars : design , industry and market . For 17 years they have worked around this concept , creating products with personality and simplicity studied to exhaustion .
“ We have always believed in the alliance between aesthetics , formal simplicity , and comfort . Even more so now with the current challenges that Covid-19 has presented .
“ The pandemic accelerated what was already growing : a tendency to value the home . With more time spent at home people are understanding its importance , its spaces , and their essential connection with nature .
“ We have had more time to think about new collections , in another hand the development and prototype took more time and energy because of the scarcity of materials available on the market . That impelled us to test and use new materials .
“ Brasilidade to us is mainly working with wood , but with a lighter , contemporary concept , without giving up the visual and physical comfort that this material carries . Wood in Brazil is part of everything in our lives . Wooden furniture always has a greater affection and respect here .”
Their work is free from fads and trends , requiring rigorous research on proportions and finishes to give the creations timeless results that extend the life of the pieces , making them pleasing to the eye for years to come . This concept is applied to all estudiobola productions , from the creation of a chair to lighting projects . Their intention is always to come up with unusual objects and ideas that include design , raw material , product category , market or industry .

They have won some design awards along the way , such as the Museu da Casa Brasiliera Award , which helped to highlight the work of the duo who are recognized in the furniture industry for the excellence of their designs and for always linking their work to the pursuit of striking commercial results , building relationships with the companies that produce and resell their creations .
