The main goal of this exhibition is to create a forum of ideas that can help us renew our minds after months of quarantining and to promote the creativity within each and every one of us. The show offers the public a unique experience that can be built after confinement, a garden to restart in peace. Stop, sit and reconnect with yourself. “Sit down to read and why not write?” explains Marc Pottier, the curator “If anyone wants, they can send us their ‘tales’ and come to be a part of a contest we want to organise with the São Paulo Book Biennial” completes Pottier.

'The production of our furniture is exclusively worked with wood from FSC forest management, which aligns our interests with the preservation of biodiversity in the Amazon, in addition to contributing to the social development of the families who live there. In addition, we decided to produce the Araxi AVVA Collection with socially vulnerable artisans, such as people who are in chemical rehabilitation programs, and thus, we believe that manual work and the development of techniques will help in recovery and development as an individual.'
