The article highlights two emerging talents in Brazilian design, Recchia and Da Mata. Recchia's work originates from an architectural school project focusing on glass, inspiring him to create intricate designs like tables and mirrors using innovative glass processes. Da Mata, trained under the Campana Brothers, transitioned from textiles to ceramics, developing a unique blend of paper pulp for his creations. Both designers blur the lines between functional art and architecture, drawing influences from their environment and materials, showcasing a fresh perspective on Brazilian design aesthetics.
"Eager to deepen his understanding of the process, he connected with a local couple who, having honed their skills in the hot shops of Venice, had just set up their own atelier outside the city."
"In my work, I see these different influences coming together" - Da Mata reflects on how his diverse experiences shape his artistic vision, particularly how his roots in architecture interweave with the vibrant chaos of São Paulo.
