Win a Wool Stool/Side Table by João Bruno
About the Prize:
We’re giving away a wool stool / side table: the “Arraiolos” by Portuguese designer João Bruno. This versatile piece functions as both a stool and a side table. Built on a
wooden frame, its surface is woven with 3-ply twisted wool – traditionally used to make Portuguese arraiolos carpets – woven directly onto the structure, as if the stool itself were the loom. Measuring 45 x 45 cm, it’s a compact and functional addition to any home.
Worth £555
About João Bruno:
João Bruno is a self-taught artist, craftsman and furniture designer since 2006, the year he created his first brand with which he reinvented the use of an excellence raw material. Arraiolos wool is the guiding thread of a unique work entirely made by hand in Portugal.
Every piece created by João Bruno is made in its own time, at the rhythm imposed by the artisan. One by one, slowly and patiently with masterly skill. The end result is expressed as objects, pieces of furniture, authentic sculptures that are works of art, entirely made of wool and with a stamp of absolute originality.
The ouevre of this Portuguese textile artist takes on an identity of its own, born out of the fusion of traditional techniques and materials with design and art through contemporary language and aesthetics. João Bruno grew up surrounded by wool, mainly due to his mother’s influence, since she was very passionate about making the typical and traditional Arraiolos rugs.
He used to work as a TV journalist, until he found in art and design his new way of
expression.
