Selection of Materials and Finishes

31 January 2022

Aesthetics and functionality in interior design are influenced by the choice of materials applied. The process of selecting materials and finishes requires special attention and knowledge so that everything can be in perfect harmony. The interior designer must have the knowledge to present different ideas, and the aesthetic sensibility to execute your dream project.

 

Find here some of the materials and finishes that Jota Barbosa Interiors offers to make your ideal personalized furniture. From wood, lacquer, metals, glass and types of fabrics, our team will certainly design your piece of furniture, with the comfort, quality, and design that you deserve.

 

 

 

Leather

 

Luxurious and exclusive, leather has a variety of unique qualities. The durability contrasts with the softness of the texture. One of the great advantages is its adaptation to temperature, both in summer and winter. It´s recommended to keep it away from direct sunlight or any other source of heat.

 

Versatile, practical, and with a unique look, leather is also a hypoallergenic fabric, perfect for families with children. The sophistication and comfort that leather provides is ideal if you are looking for a stool for your room.

 

At Jota Barbosa Interiors the selection of leather stools is vast. In different shapes and sizes, leather stools are the right choice for a unique environment.

 

 

 

 

 

Metals

 

Brass

Brass is a very appreciated material in interior decoration. Brass pieces fit very well in a contemporary as well as in a more classical design.

 

The golden details of brass bring elegance to environments. Generally used as a finishing material in decoration, it can also be used in whole pieces, such as tables, mirrors, or chairs.

 

At Jota Barbosa Interiors the brass pieces are a true work of art. From armchairs with brass accents on the feet, to coffee tables with a bronze structure, this material mirrors the luxury and magnificence of our products.

 

Stainless Steel

 

Stainless steel is a material that in recent times has gained a lot of notoriety. In decoration, this material can be used in several ways, both indoors and outdoors. The strength of this element is its simple maintenance, high durability, and sustainability.

 

Stainless steel can be polished or brushed. This difference is mainly related to the last production step, the finishing. These types of finishes are associated with roughness, that is, with the size of the scratches that the technical equipment causes in the material.

 

This material is added to bring out the luxury and quality of the products, being a noble finishing material. Jota Barbosa has a wide selection of polished and brushed stainless steel articles, which will help you elevate the style of your home decoration.

 

 

 

 

Woods

 

Oak

 

Oak wood is an excellent choice if you are looking for a versatile material, with great durability and is very resistant. A material very flexible and easy to work with, this wood is one of the most used all over the world. All its beauty makes this raw material perfect for the production of luxury furniture, thus providing a cozy and refined environment.

 

Noble and of extreme quality, at Jota Barbosa the oak pieces are distinguished from all the others. Subtle silhouettes over sophisticated structures give prestige to our products.

 

Makassar Ebony

 

Ebony is a very dense, sustainable, highly reflective, and very stable wood. This type of wood is widely used in luxury furniture and flooring. Besides being noble and valuable, it´s also very resistant to fungus and moisture.

 

At Jota Barbosa Interiors we want to provide our clients with the best quality products, evoking the luxury and delicacy of each piece. Thought to detail, the dining tables and consoles combine the majesty and sophistication of this material, with the uniqueness of the designs.

 

 

 

 

Fabric

 

Suede

 

Widely used in interior decoration, like sofas and cushions, suede fabric composes a soft exterior, with high resistance to friction, stains, and damages caused by the passage of time.

 

Combined with the great versatility of the fabric’s designs, suede is ideal for the upholstery of sofas, armchairs and cushions, in regular use, being the preference of manufacturers and customers.

 

Emphasizing all the benefits of suede fabric, this material is one of the best options if you have pets. Its simple maintenance prevents its pieces from getting damaged over time.

 

Jota Barbosa Interiors has an extensive selection of products with suede material. From sofas to armchairs, this fabric covers our luxury items with a unique subtlety. Enter this incredible world and be dazzled.

 

 

Bouclé

 

In interior design, bouclé fabric is usually applied to upholstered furniture. This multifunctional material has a wide variety of uses in your home decor. Its soft texture is an excellent choice for sofas and chairs. In addition to these benefits, bouclé goes especially well with furniture pieces with curved contours, as the soft curves complement the soft fabric.

 

As a complement to your interior design, you can bet on decorative elements, namely pillows and blankets in this type of fabric, in order to provide your environments with incomparable comfort.

 

At Jota Barbosa, the bouclé fabric has already been present in several projects, namely the Marques da Silva Project, with minimalists and elegant lines. Take a look at our website and get to know our incredible projects.
