Celebrating the Entrudo, the carnival is a time of licentiousness and satire, where locals confront institutional and religious authority. The Caretos, with their alderwood masks featuring zoomorphic features, are a hallmark of this festive season and have inspired this unique collection of art design pieces. Crafted by skilled artisans, the Lazarim Collection consists of two objects: a bench and a side table. The objects feature a unique combination of three different worn masks, inspired by the Lazarim' masks and its traditions. Each piece is made of bronze, featuring a typical studio aesthetic with an appearance that reflects the passage of time, just like the generations that have celebrated this tradition. André Teoman born in Viana do Castelo, Portugal in 1989, was raised between Viana do Castelo and Istanbul. Teoman took design classes in Viana do Castelo. Is experience it the world of puppetry and theater also had an effect on his the love for the fantasy world. In 2012, he left his hometown for Porto to start working with several luxury design furniture brands such as Boca do Lobo and Koket, where he developed pieces like the Newton Dining Table, Piccadilly Cabinet or the Hypnotic Chandelier considered trends from many trendsetters. He also won the Young Design International 2014 Award by the Light + Building Messe Frankfurt Fair. By the end of 2014 he left to start a new adventure…. his own studio that started in the beginning of 2015. Making a difference at his hometown local artisans is now as important as to make meaningful projects. Preserve such craftsmanship is a mission and a desire to join their best craftsmanships with other great techniques that are being forgotten around the world. He creates his own world with wicked things and to turn them into a symbolization of distinctive taste and humor. Looking at emotion as one of his priorities the pieces have this strong emotional bond with the concept that make the user look twice and thing about it. less
