I believe that the Poltrona Astúrias is the most emblematic and representative piece of Atelier Carlos Motta’s concepts. It is a synthesis of everything we believe in and that has always guided us. Reclaimed wood, very few industrial inputs (only glue and screw), timelessness, simple and chic aesthetics, quality, ergonomics (comfort), longevity, and Brazilian identity. […]

Sao Paulo Chair
The São Paulo Chair was designed in 1982. The concept is simple, basic – a stool with a backrest stuck in the seat. The chair is nice and soon won over the public. It has a very characteristic constructive technique and for that reason, it ended up pulling other items with the same identity – […]
Rio Chair
Once again I make an item out of simple lines, made of wood, using a well-constructed technique, airy, strong, and long-lasting. This piece is called Rio, in honor of the beautiful city of Rio de Janeiro. It maintains the concepts that since 1978 have characterized our Atelier, with environmental and social responsibilities. Produced by Butkze, […]
Alvorada Sofa (couch)
Made with FSC certified Cumaru wood, this line has as its bigger features the ergonomics and great durability. It was made to bring comfort to outdoor decks, gardens, and balconies areas.

CM7 Chair
The CM7 Line was conceived from the armchair with the same name. The aesthetics and simplicity of the lines appear very clearly. The essence of constructive technique with solid wood is also evident. Printed on these items is the influence acquired in the years I lived in California, visiting locals Flea Markets, where I acquired […]
Parati Dining Table
For these items, we associate the concepts of the Parati Line with the occasional use of some metallic components. To the beauty of aged wood, we add oxidized iron. These two materials solve the structural part well and are aligned in aesthetics. For outdoor uses, the hardware is dispensed, and the entire piece is made […]
Parati Sideboard
Contemporary, the Asturias and Parati Lines were born together and with the same DNA. Designed to be produced with reused, demolition wood, mostly Peroba Rosa. Traditionally sawn for more than a century in the same measures, Peroba Rosa is found in Brazilian civil construction in rafters with sessions of 5x6cm, 6x12cm, 6x16cm and 6×20 cm […]
