Jader Almeida receives Good Design Award 2020 for piece launched at CASACOR RJ

Designer Jader Almeida has just received the Good Design Award, promoted by The Chicago Athenaeum Museum, for two of his most recent creations: the OLIVE chair and the BIRD parasol, the latter of which was launched at CASACOR Rio de Janeiro 2019 .

The BIRD parasol impressed visitors to the Rio de Janeiro exhibition with its unique shape and versatility of use, providing soft shade at different times of the day. The concept is based on the basic principle of leaves, which filter sunlight. The light-filtering elements are connected to the structure, but move at different angles and rotate 360 degrees on an axis perpendicular to the floor. The inspiration from nature fits perfectly into the CH'A Bar , designed by Gisele Taranto, as the concept of the project is based on the different leaves and types of tea. Presented to the public in 2020, the OLIVE chair stood out for being a piece with sophisticated and elegant geometry, created from an unusual set of supports made of cast metal in a harmonious composition of materials. "The upholstered seat seems to float while the backrest supports the back and arms for the comfort of whoever sits on it" - adds Jader Almeida.
