Discover the history and inspiration behind the Pataleio Stool

Contemporary Brazilian design stands out when it ceases to be purely functional and begins to tell stories. 

At Morada Decor, we constantly look to our roots for the answers to create furniture that balances movement, strength, and personality. 

It was from this quest that the Pataleio Stool was born—a piece designed by Juliano Schmidt that translates movement into form. 

The name and design were not chosen by chance: the stool is inspired by the firm and pulsating movement of a horse’s legs, paying a beautiful tribute to this living symbol of Southern Brazilian culture.

Structural Strength and Sophistication

When observing the Pataleio Stool, the sensation is one of continuous energy: its structure, sculpted from Jequitibá wood, reveals strength and construction precision, naturally guiding the eye. 

The design’s double curves create a welcoming embrace and visual continuity, evoking the vibrant energy of the South.  

The perfect contrast occurs where the wood meets the brass detailing, adding a layer of texture and refinement—a subtle yet essential detail for pieces crafted for moments of gathering and lingering.  

Where Design Meets Architecture

With its striking presence, the Pataleio Stool was designed to elevate gourmet areas, kitchen islands, bars, and social spaces. 

It is sensitive, elegant, and deeply connected to Brazil's cultural roots, making it ideal for architectural projects that demand furniture with soul and meaning.
