Summary
This exhibition shows us how different sectors of design production ally art, a Brazilian character and technology to create objects utilized in our daily lives that take our culture to the four corners of the world. The exhibition intent is to present a transversal view of this moment, aiming at highlighting some revealing examples that attest to the creative ability of Brazil from different fields of design. All projects included are after the year 2000 and by designers living in Brazil (including foreigners who adopted Brazil as home), and works by Brazilian born designers scallered around the world. Designers are included from different regions in Brazil as well as from different generations. The participants include veteran designers such as Sergio Rodrigues (furniture) and Alexandre Wonner (graphic design) to young professionals in their 20s. The diversification is also present in the choices of different design fields: furniture, objects, equipment, vechicles, accessories, books, packaging, lamps, graphic design, etc. All objects are useful and were created in order to fulfill a certain purpose and to be used by specific consumers. However, some of them look like artworks, and others dialogue with engineering.
