The Berimbau Brazil by Zé Basiches represents the sublime encounter between the rigor of contemporary architecture and the raw freedom of artistic expression. In this exclusive collaboration with the award-winning architect and visual artist José Ricardo Basiches, the berimbau breaks away from the conventional to transform into a three-dimensional art installation. An ultra-exclusive masterpiece created for musicians, collectors, and design enthusiasts seeking an instrument with a unique identity, where every stroke carries the weight and genius of one of the most influential names in modern Brazilian architecture.
The Bow as a Visual Manifesto: The recurve musical bow receives a layer of white paint applied in an intentionally rustic manner, serving as the base for the artist's iconic, proprietary typography—a script that brings uniformity to chaos and makes the piece instantly recognizable.
High-Tech Resonator: Equipped with a gourd (cabaça) crafted from Matte Carbon Fiber, offering the perfect contrast to the rustic bow while guaranteeing flawless acoustic projection, standardized timbres, and armored durability against impacts.
Precision & High-Performance Hardware: Faithful to the DNA of Berimbau Brazil, the instrument features a black tuning peg that provides stable, smooth, and effortless tuning.
Collector's Series: A numbered and exclusive piece, accompanied by its respective identification plate. The berimbau transcends its musical function to become a three-dimensional canvas ready to crown any environment.
Founder of the renowned firm Basiches Arquitetos and winner of global accolades such as the prestigious Architizer Awards, José Ricardo Basiches combined the formal rigor of his projects with the organic need to release his stroke upon the blank page. From this pursuit emerged a bold, proprietary typography: a script in the form of a drawing that allows the artist to "speak," record intimate thoughts, and convey messages without being exposed.
Understanding that a drawing can inhabit any medium, the artist began occupying new, unconventional surfaces. At Berimbau Brazil, his stroke—which merges deep expertise with concepts that spark dreams and evoke good feelings—comes to life, echoing new musical and aesthetic possibilities.
“I am in a constant state of learning, refinement, and creation.” — Zé Basiches

"The edition signed by Zé Basiches is a true masterclass in design. The contrast between the high technology of the matte carbon fiber and the rustic finish of the bow featuring Zé's signature script creates a fascinating aesthetic tension. It is an honor to see the Berimbau Brazil serve as a canvas for the expression of one of the most talented artists of our generation, elevating the instrument to the level of high visual culture and architecture."
⚠️ Important Note: As a project involving manual artistic intervention and organic elements, each piece maintains its own entirely exclusive visual and acoustic identity. The images are illustrative of the actual instrument.
