In Tupi, "Moitará" refers to the traditional practice of exchange among different indigenous peoples, characterized by a relationship of reciprocity and cooperation. This concept of exchange and fluidity is reflected in the works of architect Arthur Casas, who often blurs the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces. While his architecture subtly integrates environments, his Moitará outdoor furniture collection reinforces this connection even further.

The Moitará sofas, armchairs, poufs, and coffee tables do not follow the conventional design of outdoor furniture, which is often associated with metals, tensioned fabrics, and synthetic textiles. Instead, the collection embraces robust upholstery and wood, allowing the pieces to seamlessly transition from the veranda to the living room. Functionality is enhanced by the addition of wheels on the sofas, making them easy to move and adapt to any setting.

In this way, the collection translates the principles of exchange and integration into versatile, sophisticated, and cozy pieces, redefining the concept of outdoor furniture. After all, an outdoor sofa can offer the same comfort and beauty as an indoor one.
