Description

The ceramics of the Jequitinhonha Valley are considered an intangible heritage of the state of Minas Gerais, in Brazil. Created using this traditional technique, the vases in the Mantos collection reinterpret the movement of the saints’ cloaks that adorn historic churches, built during the Rococo period in Brazil. Made by the beloved artisan Deuzani and her daughters Gil and Marcilene, revisiting a tradition from a contemporary perspective.

The designer Maria Fernanda Paes de Barros spent some time in the valley exploring the materials and the origins of this Brazilian traditional craftwork, listening to the valley’s stories, and learning the artisans’ way of living. The inspiration to design this vase came from this immersion and also from her time in the city of Tiradentes, a well-conserved historic town, where she collaborated with a craftsman specialized in sacred art.

All the pieces produced by Yankatu are numbered and accompanied by a small book that tells the inspiration behind each piece. It leaves blank pages so that the story can continue to be told by those who acquire it, turning each piece into something more. This narrative remains unaffected by changing fashion or the passage of time. On the contrary, these pieces will move from one generation to another, from hand to hand, each time accumulating more stories, incorporating the lives shared by them.

All the handmade details are unique, molded by hand and colored with natural pigments collected in the Jequitinhonha Valley.

The work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

About YANKATU Visit Showroom →

With a degree in business administration and interior design, Maria Fernanda has worked in the field for over 20 years. She migrated to furniture design in 2014, creating Yankatu, a design studio through which she carries out projects with social impact alongside Brazilian artisans. The encounter with the art world happened naturally in 2020 when the search for the appreciation of Brazilian artisans and their knowledge generates a growing discomfort regarding invisibility and lack of knowledge about the reality of Brazilian cultural traditions. Her work is based on relationships that go beyond the gaze and are established on mutual trust and admiration. Her production spans a long timelessness and also a continuity, resulting from the privilege and fluidity of the otherness of established relationships. It is in the power of art that she finds the way to share her learning, activate the gaze and listening of others, seeking to generate in them the same discomfort she feels and, in this way, encourage them to act. It is through a relational aesthetic that she aims to join forces because the reaction of the other, the spectator, is essential for the realization of her art, which does not end with the created object but rather expands into the immaterial and impalpable field. Her works involves various materials without settling on anyone, despite her familiarity with solid wood. It goes from clay to feathers with the same lightness that conveys strong messages in a poetic way.
