The chair used by São Paulo mayoral candidate José Luiz Datena to attack fellow candidate Pablo Marçal during a debate on Sunday, the 15th, is a Bock stool manufactured exclusively by Keva. The information was confirmed to the website This Is Money by Mobly, owner of the Keva brand.
Sold by various furniture retailers, the stools are sold in kits of two units for prices starting at R$670. The price varies according to the color chosen. Their structure is made of steel, with upholstered backrest and support, filled with foam and sewn in linen in various colors such as blue, pink, brown and the grayish color called “graphite” that appears in the debate. On the Mobly website, the gray pair appears in this link for R$ 787.
“These two stools are the perfect companions for counters or bistro tables, where you can enjoy moments of laughter and relaxation with the people you care about,” describes the Mobly website. “On those nice pizza nights or Sundays on the gourmet balcony, you’ll need a special place to accommodate everyone, and the Bock Set is exactly the type of furniture for the occasion.”
The chair is 100 centimeters high and 44 centimeters wide, with a depth of 52 centimeters. It weighs 11 kilograms. It does not require assembly. Another curious fact is that it does not have support between the back legs, which at the time of the attack allowed Pablo Marçal to put his arms through it to try to hold it.
The company did not comment on the use of the parts it manufactured in the debate and the episode of aggression between the candidates.
Remember the aggression
During the debate held by TV Cultura for the São Paulo elections, candidate José Luiz Datena (PSDB) threw a stool at Pablo Marçal (PRTB). The action occurred after verbal provocations made by Marçal, who called the former presenter a “wimp” and said that Datena was not “man enough” to slap him.
After the incident, Datena was expelled from the debate. Pablo Marçal was taken to the Sírio Libanês hospital, where he spent the night and was released on the morning of Monday the 16th. According to the medical report, the candidate suffered “trauma to the right chest and right wrist, without any major associated complications”. In medical terms, trauma refers to any type of injury.
In a statement, TV Cultura expressed its regret over the incident. “During the incident, all measures, including those related to press coverage, were taken to ensure the safety of those present at the B32 Theater and in accordance with the rules previously established,” it said. It also argued that the continuation of the debate was agreed upon by the other candidates.
TV Cultura was also contacted to comment on the model of the chair and possible damage to property, but has not yet responded.
