THE AWARENESS OF BEAUTY IN NATURE AND THE DYNAMISM OF CONTEMPORARY ART
The 2020 of Albero Aureo start in the frame of Maison & Objet Paris where the company presents the fruits of a new collection inspired by nature, craftsmanship and its transformation into an unrepeatable representation.
Albero Aureo is looking for original reused woods for dimensions and shapes, enhancing the art present in every tree, trunk, branch, root, respecting the wood and its essence. The journey starts from Brazil, where the wood is recovered in its most original form, then continuing with the finishing and the exaltation of the shapes, up to the presentation inside the Swiss Atelier.
By fighting deforestation, the company undertakes to return hectares of uncultivated land to the forest with native plants to restore the flora and consequently the fauna of the local habitat. These forest areas are owned and maintained by Albero Aureo and can be visited.
With this noble philosophy, this year at the Fair products are presented such as OCA, a centuries-old tree that suffers from the presence of a parasite that determines its end; QUADRIL originally were born as two distinct eucalyptus trees, found in the northeastern tip of Brazil in an ancient colonial house, this trunk was formed by the fusion of two trees in a single trunk; ADAMO - EVA obtained from a particular section at the apex of the root, this unique and original shape recalls the shapes of a butterfly or an angel and finally PRATILHEIRA, where the particular size of the thallus of this root has allowed a unique development in height.
The research and the constant ability to perfect "beautiness" characterize the company for the search for an unmistakable aesthetic.

Secular tree that suffers the presence of a parasite that determines its end. The root, in fact, found in the region called "mata atlantica" in the interior of the Bahian land, shows clear signs of coexistence with parasites inside it. The result of this symbiosis creates a root with the excavated part of the trunk that forms a sort of cave, suitable for being illuminated from the inside creating unique lighting effects.

Originally they were born as two distinct eucalyptus trees, found in the northeastern tip of Brazil in an ancient colonial house, this trunk was formed with the merger of two trees into a single trunk. The proximity between the two has linked them in an indissoluble way, growing as a single entity, but hiding the double force within it. This work is characterized by the effect created by two moving legs, which pay homage to the origin of two trees. The essence of wood (Corymbia maculata) does not undergo chemical treatments.

Obtained from a particular section at the apex of the root, this unique and original shape recalls the shapes of a butterfly or an angel, hence the Portuguese name Os Anjos Borboleta (Adam and Eve). Research begins in finding the art of nature, among old roots of ancient trees. Find the right type of wood for hardness, strength, size and nuance. Study the perfect combination to obtain the correct structure. Create the work already designed by nature, enhancing the harmony of the ideal form. Refine the finishes by highlighting the sinuous textures. Respect the raw material with a natural finish with natural oils and waxes.

Philosophy
“Discover, create, enjoy are natural human instincts, that make us live and show future fluctation” I’m glad to pursuit, my childhood dream project, give life to new forests. I get the chance to develop the way of active sustainable art from nature.
Drived by the love for the wood, I'm enthusiast of my constant study and research. I feel the history that bond humans with wood, likewise spiritual connection between this form of life.
Living in the connection era, I’m traveling throw Brazil and Europe trying to connects giving a message on how European need to consciousness of rare nature art beautyness and help to respect the green life in a development country like Brazil.
We need to fully understand the true meaning of “green” life, and why it’s essential for all of us.
Always thank you to any life forms.
