I'm Henrique Viblin from Estúdio Jatö.

 

The name of the studio (it reads Jatô) comes from Jatobá, which is the name of my parents' lumberyard, where I grew up and where I had contact with wood and the creations of a father who was also a carpenter.

​

In my work, I pursue harmony by making interventions in basic forms.

​

  Lyricism, beauty and props must emerge from "distortions" on basic forms. The idea is always to establish sober concepts through interventions on the elemental.

​

This concept is mirrored in my admiration for Hai Kai poetry (Japanese short sentence poems) whose form I seek to transplant into design. 

​

The hai kai is basically composed of three short sentences around a single idea central, one of which gives meaning and explanation to the poem as a whole, as well as the work I seek to propose.
