About Us

Welcome to Brazilia interiors – the only UK showcase for exclusively Brazilian design. We believe that you will find on this website the best that Brazil has to offer. Brazil is now considered by many design professionals to have some of the best designers in the world. Some of them have already established international reputations – Sergio Rodrigues, the Campana brothers, Carlos Motta.

Others are rapidly gaining a world wide reputation for innovative design coupled with superb quality of construction – Sergio Fahrer has had no less than six pieces short listed for the IF awards in the last two years and you will frequently find his pieces featured in idFX and Elle Interiors together with those of Isay Weinfeld and Etel Carmona.

The roots of modern Brazilian design go back to the middle of the twentieth century when Oscar Niemeyer was helping to shape the building of that ultra modern city Brasilia and Lucio Costa was designing buildings influenced by Le Corbusier.

Their style demanded a different kind of furniture which encouraged the first wave of radical new designers producing a very modern but distinctively Brazilian style – amongst them Sergio Rodrigues, Carlos Motta and Gregori Warchavchik.

 

The first school of industrial design in Latin America - Rio de Janeiro School of Industrial Design – was established. This became to furniture what the bossa nova was to music and Pele was to football.

But in the 50’s Brazilian designers were focused on providing a domestic alternative to imported goods. Now this second wave of designers is reaching out to export Brazilian design to the rest of the world. They have already made an impact in North America, continental Europe and Japan: we are proud to be the first to introduce them to the UK .

Conservation

We are extremely careful in sourcing wood products. We only source from suppliers that use FSC certified or re-cycled wood.  Under the FSC program forests are managed in a sustainable way ensuring their survival for future generations and protecting them from destruction by cattle and soya producers. Moreover, FSC certification ensures socially responsible production which entails good conditions and rates of pay for employees.
