ABOUT
“What we express is nothing more than the result of countless experiences that happen throughout life, adding up one after another, until finally, bingo! That was exactly what I needed to discover before shaping the furniture and objects that are first completed in my heart, then in my mind, until they finally take form in real life.
Every piece of furniture I design reflects my life story, the places I’ve been, my family experiences, and the aesthetics and ethics that permeated it all.
I lived in a modernist house, with pilotis, ramps, unexpected volumes surrounded by stairs that seemed to float in the air. My mother, who never missed a stitch, besides taking care of 8 children – I was the youngest –, stitched together relationships, clothes, and sensitivity to view the world.
At a certain point in my life, I came to live in London, a very Aquarian city, avant-garde, irreverent, with elegant humor. Here I learned that humor – repeating the word – is an incredible tool for living, and I began to play with more confidence and lightness.
My creations are a constant reflection of this playfulness. It’s like playing with security, loosening the creative ties to produce furniture that is at once comfortable and beautiful, but also naturally functional and fun.”
