Toma is a sofa designed for living spaces. The form of Toma comes from the idea of wrapping a single piece of fabric around the whole seat, in the manner of crepe cloth. The result is a continuous surface with soft undulations that envelops the person seated. Stretch fabric was used to achieve the complex curved surface, which was difficult to produce. Toma measures 1580 mm in width, 950 mm in depth and 850 mm in height. The design explores a freer form for a common piece of furniture.

Enjoei Headquarter is an office interior located in the Copan building in Sao Paulo, designed by Oscar Niemeyer in the 1950s. The floor of 2,100 square metres was requalified for about 230 people, with integrated workspaces and numerous meeting rooms. The existing subfloor was kept as the final flooring and the original finishes were restored, which reduced waste. Recycled fabrics, exclusive carpet designs and curated furniture were used. The meeting rooms apply low cost solutions that improve acoustics. White surfaces create a calm and futuristic atmosphere.
