João De Barro Nest Wall Separating + Sculpture by Mameluca

Scientific Name – Rufous Hornero (Gmelin, 1788)
The couple builds together an interesting nest, shaped like a clay oven, which can be easily found in rural areas. Inside there is a wall separating the entrance and an incubation chamber, built to reduce drafts and access to possible predators. Use as raw material of damp clay, dung and straw, their proportions depending on the type of soil (if you go, a quantity of dung comes to be greater than the earth).

“Our goal with Design is to tell stories, generating questions, emotions and discoveries through human senses. Contemporary design transcends basic survival needs and leads us to a poetic design of new information and experiences.”
The studio was launched in 2010 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. After 10 years, it’s time to cross the Atlantic and explore the old world not only historically but the way the old has being reinvented everyday based on the needs of the new. We are still in a transitional atmosphere without a physical space, but full of expectations with the new horizon.
