MEET PORANGATU

Porangatu is a brand specialized in the buying and selling of indigenous benches. We excel at every stage of this service; from purchasing directly from the artists to delivery.

Our mission is to promote the dissemination, appreciation, and commercialization of indigenous art objects in Brazil and abroad, with a special focus on benches, as a way to preserve this important dimension of Brazilian culture and to support the livelihood of indigenous artists and their communities.

As our vision, Porangatu aims to become the foremost market reference for indigenous bench trading, both in Brazil and internationally.

The values that underpin our vision and pave our journey are transparency; respect for both indigenous culture and the artist; and excellence in striving to provide a premium service to customers, with quality information and products. We seek to conduct business in a way that benefits all involved in the chain – artists, indigenous communities, service providers, and customers.

Quality standard

We guarantee the authenticity of all benches, aiming to also promote the artist and give proper credit to them. All our products come with a custom pouch and their certificate of authenticity. The pouches are handmade and serve both a utilitarian purpose of protecting the benches and an aesthetic one; just as the nature of the product they encase – beautiful and beneficial.

Ethical commitment

In view of our respect for indigenous culture and our mission to promote its dissemination and appreciation, Porangatu acknowledges its duty to contribute to the maintenance of the lifestyle of indigenous communities. Therefore, in order to confirm and reinforce our commitment to this cause, we will allocate 10% of our net revenue to donations for indigenous communities and support programs.
