The Pilão Vase carries the strength of tradition in its sculpted form. Inspired by one of the oldest tools in human history, its solid yet balanced design reflects the union between raw material and art. Continuous curves and rounded edges create a sense of flow, while its grounded structure anchors it to nature. A symbol of ancestral knowledge passed from generation to generation, it reimagines the essence of craft in a form that transcends time. The name ‘Pilão’ refers to the traditional mortar used across many cultures, grounding this piece in a legacy of utility and meaning. Decorative in nature, it stands beautifully on its own or filled with dry stems or flowers.
Carved from Muiracatiara, an Amazonian hardwood known for its bold and contrasting grain, this piece carries movement in every line. Deep streaks of reddish brown, gold, and black flow across its surface, revealing the natural rhythm of the forest. With a gentle sheen that deepens over time, the wood radiates warmth, texture, and vitality.
Each OMAMA piece supports our mission: to foster economic development in the Amazon through design rooted in environmental preservation and social transformation.
Made slowly, by hand and with purpose, each piece carries the subtle marks of its own story. Variations in color, form, or texture aren’t imperfections, they’re proof of the human touch that makes every creation uniquely alive.
