For this edition of SP–Arte ,Ovo will present seven new pieces. They are organized into two series: Dança, featuring screens and armchairs, and Linha, composed of a bench and a coffee table.

In addition to these launches, the design duo Luciana Martins and Gerson de Oliveira will also show a selection of pieces from their catalogue, including the Vela lamps, the Rio benches, and the Compasso table.

The screens (one offs) and armchairs have a strong sculptural character and continue the Dança series, which began in 2025 with the chairs of the same name. The main element of this line is an irregularly shaped frame that serves as a structure for the woven straw. Its intersections and overlaps create patterns that move from denser areas at the center to more open ones at the edges, subverting the orthogonal pattern of traditional warp and weft.

The result is a dance of lines and planes in which the eye never quite settles.

The bench and coffee table of the Linha series dialogue with other works in the duo’s trajectory. In them we can perceive echoes of the Parquet series (1997) and the Trem de Pouso bench (2000). Wooden floor patterns serve as the reference element, here subverted into new configurations and typologies. The curves introduce surprise and a sense of estrangement that transform these pieces into what design historian Adélia Borges has called objects “to keep”:

“…a production that challenges and confuses our perception, making our relationship with objects one not of consumption (immediate and often alienated use), but of enjoyment—an experience that does not end with the first encounter, but reveals new nuances as time passes.”

“It is in this capacity to offer more than function—to play with our perception, to make us think, to unsettle our parameters—that, in my view, lies the artistic impulse of ,Ovo’s work, turning its objects and furniture into pieces to use, but also to look at and to collect. To keep—in the original sense of the verb: to preserve, maintain, and conserve.”
