This project springs from my personal interest in Egyptian, Greek and Roman mythology combined with my view on design.

When designing, I go beyond functionality, beauty and sustainability. I seek to design versatile objects which convey a message, which interact withpeople, move them and invite them to reflect.

The idea was to design a product made from reusing an everyday waste material which would allow the users to take part in its construction and invitethem to simply and creatively experience the concepts of sustainability. Furthermore, the aim was to bring them closer to the sensations and emotionswhich our present-day “dehumanised” lifestyle has left behind.

The chosen “waste material” consisted of wine bottles (the glass and corks), given that it comprises an age-old drink which fascinates and inspires me,and because it forms part of our culture, symbolising magical moments of union, pleasure, gatherings, celebrations, good food and conversation.

The first product created was BAKUS, a stainless steel tray to “collect the good times” in the form of corks attached to nails, transforming it into atablemat. Its modular nature allows it to be hung on the wall, generating a variety of decorative textures and patterns.

From the glass and shapes of the wine bottles, I have created DVINUS. Designed to “savour the good times”, its inspiration lies in the lifestyle of ourancestors. The idea was to recover its essence and revive it by incorporating contemporary concepts.

Great moments are enjoyed around the table.In all ancient civilisations, the table comprised an object which stimulated the sharing of emotions and feelings. Large tables and the relationship whichwe have with them today did not yet exist in those times. People used small tables and carried them around to different settings: the living room,bathroom, dining room and even outside. From here DVINUS was born, a collection of portable tables to experience and savour moments of pleasure.Personal interaction with the product strengthens our bond with it, in addition to inviting the user to reflect on our current lifestyle.

The tables are the result of the marriage of the organic forms of wooden cut-offs (or wood of certified origin) and the reuse of wine bottles that arechosen and added by the users themselves. Different wooden boards are transformed into tables thanks to the balance provided by the weight of thebottles, which also act as legs, vases and candlesticks, and can form a table, side table, coffee table or vase. The aim is to generate as many feelings andemotions as possible with a minimum of materials and processes.

A “complexity” of functions is obtained from a “simple” wooden board drilled with circular holes. The natural fit of the bottle necks reflects simplicity,harmony and functionality, providing the elements which set the product apart.Their multiple applications and accessories allow you to savour appetisers, treat yourself to an aromatic bath or even enjoy a board game and writenotes. Let's yourself be carried away: only your imagination is the limit. Personal interaction with DVINUS is essential in order to give shape and use tothe product.

DVINUS does not come with instruction manuals nor requires tools for assembly. All that is required for the user to create and “savour” it is theirintuition. To experience DVINUS is to take part in a poetical experience abounding in functionality.

THE WOODOf vegetable origin, it is a living, refined and durable material. Many are the properties which endow it with intangible virtues. It transmits warmth, vitalityand tenderness through its range of colours, textures and aromas. No two pieces of wood are alike. Each one is unique.

THE WINE (bottles)Glass bottles are the contemporary containers for the quintessential socialising drink which inspired the ancient civilisations: wine. Its flavour, colourand aroma awaken a wealth of sensations. To take in all its magic is synonymous with happiness.

BAKUS TABLE MAT


by Tati Guimarães

This was a project created from intuition.Based on some basic knowledge, I imagined how the “gods” lived and how I wished to live, and subsequently recreated these moments through anobject. After designing it, I delved deeper into the ancient civilisations, their lifestyle, their objects and how they related to them. I came to realise thatthe precious object which I had designed already existed in these civilisations and held significant importance in terms of usability and pleasure.I can therefore say that the DVINUS project is connected to and takes its inspiration from those who laid the foundations of our society.

In their objects, paintings and texts I came across the elements that they used to give form to their surroundings, enjoy life and create “the moment”.

The Egyptians believed in the afterlife. Their creations and adaptations to their surroundings were aimed at protecting their lives and, at the same time, allowing them to live on after death.Although their objects were practical and aesthetic, they possessed more of a symbolic than a rational significance.

Their furniture was light, cubic, elegant and of great structural simplicity.One of the most representative themes was the emulation of natural forms. Wood was almost irreplaceable as the material for its construction.

During the funerary banquets of the tombs and the paintings in which they depict their moments of entertainment, they used tables to hold food, games and even aromatic oils for their baths.

The Greeks' way of life was more rational and pragmatic. Their objects were replete with utility and aesthetics.

After their feasts they debated or played. These gatherings were held on couches and employed low tables to hold the food or board games. The extravagant feasts included a bathingsession for the guests. Pitchers of gold and alabaster filled with scented water were placed on the tables to perfume the guests.

Simple and graceful, their tables were made from locally-obtained wood. The fact that they lived their lives outdoors led them to seek hardwearing materials such as stone, marble andbronze. They also adapted better to the body and some well-known examples include a variety of chairs with or without a backrest, beds known as “klines”, beds used for feasts call“triclinia”, chests and tables. Their tables were generally portable and three-legged, light and stable, and were used in the proximity of the “triclinia” to serve food and drinks.

In their free time, the Romans entertained themselves at the circus, theatre and amphitheatre. They also frequented thermal baths and enjoyed fighting between gladiators. Their feastswere also a way of enjoying life.

The notable Greek influence led to the repetition of some furniture. However, they innovated with the use of bronze and created models with original details. They also used stone andmarble for construction. “Mensa” tables occupied an important place in their homes. The characteristic marble “cartibulum” tables were composed of a large panel with each endsupported on two sturdy legs. Some tables saw their four legs replaced with three or a single, central “monopodium”.
