The Magna Natura project became a reality, not only because its leader, Isabel, was born in an ancestral family working the cork, but rather her incomparable intimacy with pure cork that makes her wander the Alentejo plains, caressing every cork oak under the clear blue sky and the scorching heat, hearing the cicadas singing incessantly, feeling the drops of sweat as if they were callings, or the chills because she seems to be able to touch the stars, so bright, and that huge moon, so serene, so secretive of its dreams‌ _ www.magnanatura.com mn@magnanatura.com +351 912 778 708 Rua das Ruivas n.º 108 3885-494 Esmoriz, Aveiro, Portugall

“With a strong inspiration in the giant dunes of the ARMONA island, at Ria de Faro, this sideboard has a bold and avantgarde design, combined with a mixture of materials that convey a sense of luxury and refinement, where wood is “Lady and Queen”. Wanting to highlight the noblest of materials - wood - this piece was created with an extremely geometric design but at the same time simulates the waves of the sea, as well as those created by the wind in the dunes. Covered with 388 cubes of wood lacquered with intense matt and a foil-footed of copper with high-gloss lacquer, this piece easily becomes the center of attention in any space in which it is inserted, as it reflects the vast experience of our craftsmen and the most traditional woodworking techniques used.”
