Lucas Recchia, born in 1992, on an island in the south part of Brazil starts his career as a designer in 2018 with his first solo show for the avant-garde gallery Firma Casa in São Paulo and quickly catches the attention of the whole country as the first Brazilian designer to develop glass techniques in furniture design. He incorporates the potential of recycled glass with ancient techniques with solar energy used by artisans with worldwide experience.

Material Distortion refers to the phenomenological relationship the pieces establish with materials and space. Colored glasses are transformed by cutting, stacking, and baking, which results in more thickness and subtly rounded surfaces and small bubbles. The bronze is cast in molds to form frames for the glass, and then undergoes oxidation creating patinas on unique colors and textures. When the light passes through them, the design of the pieces reverberates in the form of colored light contained by the shadows of the metal.

The Osso marble stool was meticulously composed of Brazilian quartzite with special color variations. The blend of rigid quartzite and permeable pink glass, acquired from precious metals, creates a captivating contrast. This rarest pink glass hue is a result of a chemical reaction involving gold during the glass-heating process.

In Incas only the two inclined planes bear the stresses due to the weight of the plan, while the vertical ones do not collaborate in the construction system. Incas is now also available in other stone materials and with suitable finishes, today for the first time it finds an unprecedented and sophisticated solution in solid wood, demonstrating how every great idea can be further developed without losing strength and meaning.
