Cardume Folding Screen, 2024

Limited Edition of 8 + 2 AP

Building upon the self-informing and amalgamated logic that shaped Palma's previous collections, Souvenir draws its initial inspiration from the rich allegorical world of the studiolo—a personal chamber for contemplation, where research, creation, collection, and rest coalesce. This intimate space serves as a theater of memory, celebrating the curious and creative mind.

The collection features seven limited-edition pieces, each incorporating unique objects—coins, stamps, fishing baits, pebbles, and more. These objects transform the furniture into supports for display while becoming memory-objects themselves, imbued with internal narratives and unexpected encounters.

Gathered from diverse sources, eras, and origins, these embedded elements fulfill a dual purpose: as souvenirs in the traditional sense—tokens of memory, intention, and use—and as vessels of layered meanings, re-signifying the pieces that contain them.

With Souvenir - Coleção No. 3, Palma invites a renewed connection between object and memory, between found and crafted materials, and between the creative and contemplative spirit.
