Quase Minima, Almost Minimum, sums up the design; this is almost a schematic drawing of a chair. However the Quase Minima was constructed not only for aesthetics, but also to provide a solid and robust seat.

The inclination and soft upholstery of the backrest add a degree of comfort to the chair. The seat is available either fully upholstered or with saddle leather webbing.

CLAUDIA MOREIRA SALLES

Every tiny detail in each of the designer’s pieces is the result of lots of research during their conception. Her love of wood started early, during her first internship at the Museum of Modern Art, where she created furniture for a school library. 

For several years she designed for Nanni Moveleira, one of the first furniture companies that promoted independent designers in the 1980s. 

The Duetto bench was her first commission and the first of the designer’s creations to be manufactured by ETEL. This partnership, consistent, authentic and infused with great rapport, has lasted for more than 25 years.
