Junto Wood Design emerged from the meeting of Zé Maria and Bernardo, two people who already had experience in the same craft. What shared vision of design and craftsmanship formed the basis of the brand?
Junto was born from the desire to create simple and timeless furniture. More than beautiful objects, we were interested in developing pieces that would last, that could withstand time and reflect a deep commitment to quality. These are pieces designed to make sense today, but also ten, twenty, or fifty years from now—objects that do not go out of style and remain relevant over time.
In your creative process, does the design come first, or is it the wood—with its grain, density, and limitations—that guides the form?
The process is always a dialogue between drawing and wood. Sometimes it begins with a sketch, but the material inevitably transforms the result. There are moments when it is particularly interesting to let the wood guide the process.
