The exposed joinery reveals the construction process as part of the form, reflecting the studio’s commitment to the study of traditional techniques and experimentation with wood as material.
The Garatuja collection, presented at SP-Arte 2026 fair (São Paulo, Brazil), investigates the tension and balance between two seemingly opposing universes: the precision of traditional woodworking techniques and the freedom of loose, instinctive mark-making. The meeting point between these extremes gives rise to a body of work that values both technical control and intuition.
Garatuja means spontaneous scribbling, prior to rule and rationalisation. It is understood as a genuine expression of thought and movement, a drawing that emerges from the body before becoming language.
The new collection reaffirms PROSA’s interest in processes that reconcile technique and poetry, tradition and experimentation. By placing geometric forms, traditional craft, and free-hand marks in dialogue, the studio invites reflection on contemporary making: a territory where drawing is born from gesture, matter responds to time, and each piece carries the visible memory of its construction.
