ISSUE #2
ADAPTING THROUGH TIME
Reflections on the changes in how and where we work - and the role of design in it.
In this new context we are living, one of the main issues we have to deal with concerns the execution of work activities.
Thinking about these current issues, the second edition of Bossa Mag focuses on the theme Workspaces. In the following pages, we seek to present the reader with some materials and reflections on workspaces from the conception of the office, its contexts and configurations. We hope that this content can contribute to stimulate the debate about how the furniture and the spaces in which they are inserted influence (and are influenced) by social factors. -

1# Issue — Cane
For this first edition, the chosen theme was straw, or cane, a generic name for a group of over 600 species of natural fiber, which have been used in household objects for thousands of years. Traditional communities around the world used to plait in order to fulfill their needs and according to their local, regional and cultural aesthetic standards. There is no doubt that we are living in a distinct society today, but it is interesting to point out which traditions have crossed generations and remain part of a handcrafted and historically sophisticated aesthetic imaginary. Straw plaiting has been passed along many generations, and is certainly one of the most beautiful manual practices.

This series introduces artisans responsible for the restoration of modern pieces of furniture that were mainly produced in Brazil between 1947 and 1969. This was a period of social, cultural and economic effervescence in Brazil. Therefore, the objects are part of a cultural change that can be felt in music, design and the visual arts.
