Editorial This publication is a guide to Rio de Janeiro whose aim is to direct our gaze at Design. A guide that takes our perception on a trip based on originality, innovation and, of course — because it is a panorama of Rio — beauty.

A guide dedicated to visitors, but also to the locals, the cariocas, who many times overlook some of the precious wonders spread around the city: already famous spots or less apparent little ones. Here you will find historic and contemporary architecture, product design, fashion design, museums, street markets selling antiques and crafts, and the now famous “food design”, in restaurants and bars with attractive interiors.

Each location listed has been visited and described in this first Rio de Janeiro Design Guide. The locations were chosen based on the presence of design either in products – especially in fashion, a highlight of the city – or in settings which privilege contemporary aesthetics, creativity... or a distinctive carioca flavor.

The guide also features testimonials by local professionals telling us about memories and the present moment of Design in Rio. This guide is not supposed to have exhausted or included all of Rio’s Design universe: the more we researched, the more we found about new initiatives... a lot has been left out of this edition due to limitations determined by the production process of such a publication. This is the first Rio Design Guide and the realization that there is still a lot to be shown, a lot to be expanded, motivates us and gives us the certainty that other guides are yet to come.

Unveiling the city has been a pleasure – which I am sure you will share when you follow our discoveries and suggestions recorded in this guide.

Have a nice tour!

RIO Design GUIDE

REINVIGORATED DESIGN The Design created in Rio de Janeiro can today be considered one of the best contributions to National Design. Taking up where it left off in the 1950’s, the term “Carioca Design” is now affirmed as having a unique and original specificity.

esign is a topic of great interest for designers themselves – few professions have such a clear vision of their own importance or utility. It is the designers who redraw the world. Books, magazines, blogs and trips are sources for deepening our knowledge and we are always hunger for knowing more and more. This passion may explain the renaissance Design has gone through in Rio de Janeiro in the last few years.

Such renaissance, in the city that has given Brazil the best examples in the 1950’s, “can be attributed, in part, to the boost on the city’s selfesteem caused by the coming Olympic Games in 2016, the wealthiness of newly-discovered oil reserves, the revaluation of its natural and architectural landscapes – such as the urban intervention to be executed in the portuary zone

– and to new urban solutions to safety issues”, comments Roberto Hirth, an attentive observer of cultural phenomena in the city.

The Carioca Design is going through a phase of deep extroversion. The need to be put in the spotlight is related to this recuperation,

RIO Design GUIDE

to the desire to recover, leaving behind the ruins of a long process of deindustrialization and devaluation. Fashion, which was established on this path, is the most visible facet of Rio’s lifestyle, and now Product Design, together with Tourism, should follow the same way towards the consolidation of the idea of being one of the world’s Design capitals.

The brands Blue Man, Rygy, Osklen and Isabela Capeto are great examples of what the carioca creation represents today in the context of Fashion Design. Rio’s casualness,

colors and climate are translated into originality and innovation, focusing on investigating sustainable production, always from a realistic industrial perspective. The activity in the national and international markets points to a path not only for the development of Rio’s Design, but also for Rio’s economy, whose vocation is to export, selling, through products, this idea of a more relaxed, outdoorsy, informal and joyful lifestyle.

Rio’s Product Design, especially with the designer Indio da Costa, following the footsteps of the designer Angela Carvalho’s NCS Design company, creates utensils, urban furniture and appliances “with a twist”. In a partnership with industries from all over Brazil, unparallelled products that attract clients and receive prizes are brought into the market.

Furniture, the most fertile field of Design, already has an identity in Rio, and its creators are, little by little, being able to overcome the difficult approach to the industrial sector. One may say that the best generation of Brazilian designers is found in Rio today. Bernardo Senna, Eduardo Baroni, Zanini de Zanine, Habto, Mendes & Hirth, Latoog, Ricardo Antonio – not to mention the master Sergio Rodrigues, who crosses generations – are cases in point, to name a few. Others, like Antonio Bernardo, Chico Bicalho, César Burgos and Marzio Fiorini also stand out, representing, each in their own way, the very essence of practical creativity.

Ecodesign, the careful planning of design projects taking into account both environmental and social aspects, is growing thanks to innovative initiatives of many design firms and programs such as Fibra Design, Instituto Nacional de Tecnologia, Ziplux and Rede Asta.

Looking at the big picture, one can notice the successful evolution of “branding”, the construction of the image of companies, products 13 and services in the consumers’ minds, giving rise to great contemporary firms that build upon the bases created by Aloísio Magalhães, Verschleisser, and Visconti. Tátil, Ana Couto and Crama, some of the biggest and the best in the country, are some of them.

“After some bad starts in the last decades and thanks to the effort of many affictionates who have chosen to insist on Design – not only as a professional choice, but as a lifestyle –, now Rio has got back on track and Design has established itself as an asset of the city and the state,” claims Bernardo Senna, from whom we borrowed an accurate gaze.

A Brief History of

Design

IN Rio

You just have to open the window and look out... Rio de Janeiro is still beautiful!

It seems that, here, nature has made its best design project and given us the gift of abundant colors, light and surprises. Maybe these features of beauty, cultural sophistication, and diversity have predestined Rio to be the birthplace of Brazilian Design.

A

s a designer and inhabitant of this city, writing on the history of Design in Rio has been quite a challenge. Looking back, I have found situations, ideas, people and places which, together, form – many times unexpectedly – a panel of influences and contributions to the establishment of Design as an area of expertise and a profession in Brazil.

We should start with the birth of Design in Brazil in the “Golden Years”, the 1950’s, when the project for the development of the national industry created by President Kubitschek stimulated consumption, the influx of foreign capital and imported technologies, culminating with the construction of our capital Brasília, the field for the experimentation of two illustrious cariocas – the architects and urbanists Oscar Niemeyer and Lúcio Costa. Brazil was in search of modernity.

Maybe it all happened just by chance, but, when in 1953, Max Bill, the then director of HfG (Hochschule für Gestaltung in Ulm, Germany) came to Brazil and met Niomar Muniz Sodré, Affonso Reidy, and Carmem Portinho – the president, architect and director of the Museu de Arte Moderna (Museum of Modern Art) of Rio, respectively – they had the idea of creating a school of Design within the structure of the museum. This boldness was a clear signal of their breaking from the academic mindset.

ETC – the Escola Técnica de Criação (Technical School of Creation) – had as a goal to contribute to the modern industry along the lines of the Design School in Ulm. The museum even got to build an area for the installation of the School. Tomás Maldonado, then professor and director of HfG, was called to contribute with

formatting the syllabus of the school program; professors were sent to Germany to learn the methodology of the German School. But the dream had to be aborted due to lack of funds and for political reasons.

Thanks to the committment of a group of professionals who believed in the importance of Design for the development of Brazil, the creation of the first Design school in South America, ESDI – the Escola Superior de Desenho Industrial (Higher School of Industrial Design) – was made possible in 1962.

Situated today in the Lapa neighborhood, in the city’s historic center, ESDI trained the pioneer generation of Brazilian Design professionals and survived the tough times of dictatorship as an avantgarde school.

In 1970, emblematic characters attended the school, such as the artist Renina Katz, the journalist Zuenir Ventura, the designers Bergmiller, Alexandre Wollner, Goebels, Verschleisser and Pedro de Souza, the photographer Roberto Maia, the economist Carlos Lessa and the controversial and brilliant Aloísio Magalhães, graphic designer, and Décio Pignatari, poet. Such was the scenario I was in.

The professors held informal gatherings with the students at Barhaus, the nickname of ESDI’s canteen! There, summer afternoons got even hotter with the confrontation between the followers of the German trend of rationalist design and those who believed in national values.

Of course, the influence of the School of Ulm persisted and still remains in the roots of Brazilian designers’ training, but its ideology did not rule out the quest for their own cultural identity.

Among so many designers from Rio de Janei-

17

ro, I chose two who, in my opinion, exemplify the commitment with a Brazilianness-focused Design: Sergio Rodrigues and Aloísio Magalhães.

Sergio, who gave continuity to the legacy of predecessors like Joaquim Tenreiro, Zanine Caldas, Geraldo de Barros, Paulo Mendes da Rocha and Lina Bo Bardi, is undoubtedly our greatest talent in Furniture Design. A genius capable of understanding the wood and who has created around 1,200 furniture designs and innumerable different ways of sitting. His Mole Armchair (1957), which is known in English as RIO Design GUIDE

18

Sheriff Armchair and was awarded a prize in the International Furniture Design Competition of Cantù (Italy) in 1961, made his name famous abroad. Sergio created other masterpieces such as the Mocho Stool (1954), the Kilin Chair (1973) – a homage to his much-beloved wife and partner Vera Beatriz – and the Diz Chair (2003), all of which represent the essence of his language based on the translation into detail of Brazilians’ everyday life and habits. OCA, his store founded in 1955 in Ipanema, broke away from the then current standards in interior decoration. Today, his products are sold in many countries and feature in the Design Collections of the most important musems in the world, such as MoMA, in New York. Sergio Rodrigues’ character, with his thick moustache, hat, and suspenders, still presents us with his sense of humour and joy while working on new products in his atelier, in the Botafogo neighborhood.

PIONEERISM AND CULTURAL BACKGROUND Aloísio Magalhães passed away in 1982, but left a profound mark as a thinker, graphic designer, artist and public man in the hearts of all of those who met him or worked with him. Born in Pernambuco, he adopted Rio as his own city, where he opened his design firm, PVDI. In the 1970’s, his production reached excellence, making projects both to state-owned companies such as Petrobras, Caixa Econômica Federal, Correios, and Furnas, and privately-owned companies like the banks Banco Boavista and Banco Nacional, among many others. The design of the cash bills of the new Brazilian currency showed all the sensibility of this man, who modernized visual communication and created the image of many Brazilian companies.

RIO Design GUIDE

In 1979, Aloísio took up the direction of the Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional (National Historical and Artistic Heritage Institute) – Iphan – and initiated a large renovation in the way the national remembrance was handled, creating the Pró-Memória Institute. In being invited to the post of Secretary of Culture, he received the deserved recognition for his relentless activity.

To me, Aloísio was an inspiration – a man with multimedia creativity, elegant in his thoughts and actions. As a graphic designer, he proved thay it is possible to create projects with a universal language without losing the Brazilian soul.

Rio has always been a trendsetter. The city magnetized creators of other states, attracting them with its cosmopolitan mindset, which offered fertile grounds for Fashion and Jewelry Design to flourish. In this area, we must highlight Zuzu Angel, a fashion designer from the state of Minas Gerais who made her mark in the 1960’s and 1970’s when she incorporated elements of the Brazilian culture into her collections, and

Caio Mourão, a jewelry designer born in São Paulo, who settled in Ipanema and was the first to develop the concept that would later be called “authorship jewels”. Today, Antonio Bernardo and the collective jewelry design gallery O Banquete went beyond authorship and stuck to the concept of Design in their creations.

RIO, THE CITY OF DESIGN After years of crisis and inflation, Rio, the City of Design, regained its spark as one of the trendsetting and opinion-forming world metropolises, attracting investments, business partnerships and international events. The creative industry and the Design “made in Rio” have been attracting the attention and incentives of different institutions, such as BNDES (Brazilian Development Bank), the Sistema Firjan (Federation of Industries of the State of Rio de Janeiro), Sebrae (The Brazilian Service of Support for Micro and Small Enterprises), as well as the State Government of Rio de Janeiro and the Rio de Janeiro’s City Hall, which are articulated with universities,

design firms, manufacturers and design centers in order to promote Design in Rio. Today, the city boasts 11 courses dedicated to Design in its different modalities, around 500 design firms and innumerable professionals that have already been awarded an international prize. Such infrastructure, together with the charm of the city, made the European Institute of Design invest in the restoration and renovation of the old building of Urca Casino (located at the foothills of Pão-de-Açúcar, the Sugar Loaf) with the objective of using the space for installing a sophisticated fashion and design school that would attract students and experts from all over the world.

Inspired by the beauty of the city, Rio’s designers keep on writing their history, with boldness and a good sense of humour, overflowing creativity in order to gain the world.

Ateliê Fasanello > Rua Paraíso, n° 42 – Santa Teresa > 21 2232-3164

Olivia, designer Ricardo Fasanello’s widow, keeps his legacy alive, including his atelier in Santa Teresa, where his furniture is still produced. Among them, the three classic armchairs Anel, Gaivota and Esfera, with a large resin base. His furniture is also sold to the international market (Espasso, in New York). Visits must be previously booked.

Atelier Graham Ferreira > Rua do Mercado, n° 35, 1º andar – Praça XV, Centro > 21 3904-2280 / 3852-4218 > oebanista.blogspot.com

The atelier that belongs to the siblings Ricardo and Bianca Graham Ferreira is located in a newly-restored heritage-listed building in the cultural pole of Praça XV (XV de Novembro Square). The space is very pleasant and, besides bringing together the siblings’ creations, it is the stage for exhibitions and small concerts. Bianca, fashion designer and tailor, shows original creations of menswear, hand-made by herself and her staff using a lot of linen, bobbin lace and Egyptian cotton.

Ricardo studied joinery (a specialization of woodworking) in Europe and has been standing out with his furniture of apparent joints and limited edition, always using certified wood. The Trovador Stool has already been awarded a prize and selected for the Rio+Design event, in Milan, Italy, and for the Bienal Brasileira de Design (Brazilian Design Biennial), in Curitiba, Brazil.

Casa França-Brasil > Rua Visconde de Itaboraí, n° 78 – Centro > 21 2332-5120 > www.casafrancabrasil.rj.gov.br

Inaugurated in 1990, Casa França-Brasil is one of the main cultural centers in Rio, featuring exhibitions, performances and music shows. The building was designed by Grandjean de Montigny, who took part in the French Artistic Mission in Brazil (1816) and was a professor at the Academia Imperial de Belas-Artes (Imperial Academy of Fine Arts). The building, considered to be one of the first examples of the Neoclassical style in the country, has recently undergone restoration work which also added technology and comfort to it. It now boasts a reading room, gastronomic and socialization areas, and wi-fi internet: an invitation for lunch of just coffee with a view to the traditional church of Nossa Senhora da Candelária, in the heart of downtown.

It is worth checking out the program of Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil (CCBB, Cultural Center of Banco do Brasil), which always features first-rate plays and exhibitions. And even if what is on show is “not your cup of tea”, keep the place on your list: the visit pays off even if it is just for seeing the historic neoclassical building. It started being built in 1880 and it was the main site of Rio’s Commercial Association before housing Banco do Brasil. In the late 1980’s, it was renovated and turned into a cultural center. The project preserved the refinement of the columns, the ornaments and the marble that go from the foyer up the staircase.

Centro Cultural dos Correios > Rua Visconde de Itaboraí, n° 20 – Centro > 21 2253-1580 / 2219-5323 > www.correios.com.br/institucional

The building of the Centro Cultural dos Correios (Cultural Center of Correios) was inaugurated in 1922 and for 50 years it housed administrative and operational units of the Brazilian post office, the Correios. In June of 1992, the building was reopened as a cultural center in celebration of the United Nation Conference on Environment and Development, the ECO92, that was held in the city. Since then, the whole area of the building – almost 3,500 m2 – has been dedicated to culture. On the ground floor, there is an art gallery and a theater. The second and third floors are occupied by ten exhibition rooms which held, in 2009, the Design Contemporâneo Rio + França (Contemporary Design Rio + France) show. The stories are interconnected by a panoramic elevator from the early 20th century, from where one can have a good view of the interior of the building. Oh, and the back of the building still houses a post office agency, in case of emergency.

Confeitaria Colombo > Rua Gonçalves Dias, n° 32 – Centro > 21 2505-1500 > www.confeitariacolombo.com.br

To have some tea in the salons of the pastry shop founded in 1894 by Portuguese immigrants is a pleasant journey back in time to the Belle Époque.

The salons in art nouveau style are tastefully decorated with crystal mirrors imported from Belgium, marble counters, jacaranda furniture and French stained glass windows, as well as the intact original chandeliers and floors. You can order the traditional high tea called Chá Colombo, with cookies and cakes.

The Brazilian chicken croquettes called coxinha de galinha and the quindim, a sweet made of egg yolks, coconut and sugar, are also a must.

Feira de Antiguidades Praça XV > Praça XV – Centro > On Sunday mornings

You must have a “good eye” and enjoy sifting through lots of antiques, expensive or cheap. The flea market takes place every Saturday below the square’s viaduct and it is the right place for designers, scenographers, architects, interior designers and antique lovers, who can find surprising pieces for even more surprising prices.

LPs, toys, clothes, chinaware, key rings, beverage labels, coins, and much, much more.

27

Feira do Lavradio > Rua do Lavradio – Lapa > First Saturday of each month, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

On the first Saturday of each month, stalls are set up along most of the street that is well-known for its antique shops. In this pleasant flea market, you can usually watch musicians playing chorinho – instrumental popular music typical of Brazil – and find a little of everything, in good state: telephones, bijouterie, photographic cameras, suitcases, silverware and lots of furniture. On the other days of the month, the stores of Rua do Lavradio (Lavradio Street) are open at regular business hours, offering a great diversity of pieces with good design to those willing to sift through their collection.

In digital times, the best way to know whether a hotel is good is to look online for testimonials of those who have been there. Try to do this with the Hotel Santa Teresa. Most testimonials describe the place as “extraordinary.” The enchantment begins with the newly-renovated mansion.

In each room, there are pieces by Brazilian artists and designers such as Sergio Rodrigues. The presidential suite was acclaimed as the best in the world by the Wallpaper magazine. Not to mention the breathtaking view of the Cidade Maravilhosa – which means “wonderful city”, Rio’s nickname – from above. The good news is that the hotel has open doors even for those who are not staying there as a guest. In the hotel, there is a restaurant and the Bar dos Descasados (The Bar of the Unmarried), which, contrary to what its name suggests, is a great option for a couples’ night out.

Lá na Ladeira > Ladeira da Glória, n° 98 – Glória > 21 4141-9157 > www.lanaladeira.com.br

The twin sisters Joana and Julia Mendes started renovating their own furniture that they had inherited from the family. Their friends loved it and passed the suggestion on to other friends and the sisters ended up having to quit their jobs to open a business.

Today, they explore the city in an old Jeep sifting through old pieces that gain a modern flair with vibrant colors and patterned fabrics chosen from stores such as Farm and Safira Sedas. Everything goes to their charming showroom, that is open at hours by arrangement in a mansion just behind the Outeiro da Glória (Gloria Church).

“Some places have a soul. And, although it is not easy to explain what that is, we recognize that sensual quality when we are in such a place. Livraria da Travessa (Travessa Bookstore) – a longstanding presence in the affective memory of Rio – is one of these spaces in which the city falls back to human scale and the landscape becomes intimate and welcoming.”

The quote, by the poet Eucanaã Ferraz, summarizes the spirit of the bookstore, that was “born” in 1975. When it was founded, it was called Muro, then it became Dazibao and finally it was named (first by its frequent clients and then officially) Livraria da Travessa, or just “Travessa” for (its many) friends.

MAM - Museu de Arte Moderna > Avenida Infante Dom Henrique, n° 85 – Aterro do Flamengo > 21 2240-4944 > www.mamrio.org.br

The modernist building from 1950’s which houses important art exhibitions and a collection of more than 15,000 works of art by Alberto Giacometti, Di Cavalcanti, Lygia Clark and Helio Oiticica, amongst others, represented a mark in Brazilian architecture, thanks to the straight lines of apparent concrete designed by Affonso Eduardo Reidy and the landscaping project by Burle Marx. The museum, which already hosted two Brazilian Design Biennials in the 1970’s and whose auditorium is equipped with furniture designed by Sergio Rodrigues, also boasts a cinematheque, a library, a bookstore and a design store.

32

Mobix > Rua do Lavradio, n° 128 - Centro > 21 2224-0244

In the address that concentrates the antique shops of the city, Mobix stands out for offering restored furniture and objects in good state.

It is possible to find good pieces, even some treasures, in this “modern antiques” shop.

Museu Chácara do Céu e Parque das Ruínas > Rua Murtinho Nobre, n° 93 – Santa Teresa > 21 2224-8981

The Museu da Chácara do Céu, the old residence of Raymundo Ottoni de Castro Maya, was designed in 1954 and still today attracts attention for the modernity of its architectural solutions in purist cubist style and also for the beautiful gardens that surround it. The museum’s collection carries paintings, drawings and etchings by Matisse, Modigliani, and Miró, as well as works by the Brazilians Guignard, Di Cavalcanti, and Portinari. Just next to it is located the old residence of Laurinda Santos Lobo, which today houses the Parque das Ruínas (The Ruins Park). What the two places have in common is a fantastic view of the city, away from its heat and its hustle and bustle.

Everything is screened by the project’s creator, Túlio Mariante, who selects from sustainable handmade pieces to prize-winning objects and furniture – among which you will find the Onda Stool, by Ilse Lang, and the Spirit Fan, by Guto Indio da Costa. The scenario could not be more inspiring: you are in the Museu de arte Moderna (MaM, The Museum of Modern Art) and surrounded by the gardens of Burle Marx, overlooking the Guanabara Bay.

In the 19th century three-story mansion, a hotspot for the carioca bohemians, there is nothing of contemporary signature design; what makes the place special is the many vintagelooking objects and pieces of furniture spread all over the house: a barber chair, biscuit dolls, venetian mirrors, a clock collection and even a homeopathic pharmacy from 1930.

Rio 180º Suites & Cuisine > Rua Dr. Júlio Otoni, n° 254 – Santa Teresa > 21 2205-1247 > www.rio180hotel.com

Just before its inauguration, this “design hotel” in Santa Teresa hosted an edition of the Master Casa interior design event. In the event, architects and interior designers projected the many rooms that would then become exclusive suites. Today, the rooms receive tourists from all over the world, who divide their attention between the interiors and the beautiful landscape of Rio outside the windows.

RIO Design GUIDE

Santo Scenarium > Rua do Lavradio, n° 36 – Lapa > 21 3147-9007 > www.rioscenarium.com.br

A divine place. It is not an exaggeration to use the pun to describe the mansion built in the 20th century which has already housed a police station and been the residence of the actor João Caetano.

The two-story house, once abandoned, has been restored and today it houses a nightclub decorated with collections of religious and baroque art. The place’s highlight is the replica of a 2.5-meter tall wooden angel by Aleijadinho, an artist and architect from Minas Gerais. All of this in the most traditional bohemian neighborhood of Rio, featuring shows of jazz and chorinho – instrumental popular music typical of Brazil – from Thursdays through Sundays.

Atelier Sergio Rodrigues > Rua Conde de Irajá, n° 63 – Botafogo > 21 2539-0393 / 2537-3001 > www.sergiorodrigues.com.br

He is the Brazilian designer with most prizes and one of the fathers of the Brazilian modern furniture design. From the marriage between wood and leather came renowned pieces of furniture created over more than 50 years of work and recognized all over the world. The Lúcio Costa Chair and the Kilin and Diz Armchairs are some of them. From the late 1950’s, the most famous one, the Mole Armchair (known in English as Sheriff Chair), is today part of the permanent collection of MoMa of New York. In the master’s studio, in a two-story house visited by buyers and students, there is a showroom of his furniture and new creations.

Bar do Copa > Avenida Atlântica, n° 1.702 – Copacabana > 21 2545-8790 > www.bardocopa.com.br

The bar of the luxurious Copacabana Palace Hotel opened its doors in the beginning of 2010, decorated with modern elements. The South-African Graham Viney is the author of the project, with patterned brass floor and a mosaic of golden tiles on the bar. On the ceiling, 10,000 points of optical fiber reproduce the astronomic map of Rio de Janeiro. Golden fireworks-shaped Sputnik Lamps give the final touch to the space located by the most famous pool in the city.

Café del Mar 42

> Avenida Atlântica, n° 1.910 – Copacabana > 21 3649-9658

Forget about Paris, London, or Berlin. When the summer comes to the Northern Hemisphere, all eyes turn to Ibiza, which becomes the undisputed party capital of the world.

Inaugurated in 1980 on the Spanish island, Café del Mar extended its domain to the sea of Copacabana, bringing the mediterranean fame and style to the project signed by the architect Mauro Vicente.

Desculpe, Eu Sou Chique > Rua Alice, n° 75 – Laranjeiras > 21 2225-6059

The name, which means “I’m sorry, but I’m chic,” is fun, but their pieces are even better...

It offers from clothes and accessories to art objects. There is also a section with discount items by famous alternative labels and a bistrot which hosts jazz and bossanova shows on Fridays and Saturdays.

RIO Design GUIDE

D’versa > Largo do Machado, n° 29, sobreloja 205 – Flamengo/Catete > 21 2285-8117 > blog.dversa.com.br

The backpack turns into a coat. The coat turns into a handbag. The handbag turns into a hat and a shopping session turns into a big surprise. This is how you feel when visiting D’versa, the brand whose flagship is the “multiplicity of the items”. All pieces are created by the partners Denise Vargas and Diana Estevez, mother and daughter who started working together in 2000 in a home-built atelier. The ideas came from the clients’ demand and also from the challenge to make clothes that were at once simple, comfortable and creative. To illustrate, one same piece can be used in more than 35 different ways. You can easily go straight from a morning outing to a night out.

Ih!Deias > Rua Voluntários da Pátria, n° 452, loja D – Botafogo/Humaitá > 21 2539-2060 > www.ihdeias.com.br

“A store that sells absolutely necessary utilities and futilities.” By the slogan, we can get the feel of Ih!Deias, a play with the word ideia and an onomatopoeic ih! of surprise. Ih!Deias is a creative and welcoming space, packed with irresistible pieces and accessories. The store is located in the heart of one of the busiest streets of the carioca South Zone. However, the products are so charming that no passer-by can resist, taking a break from their everyday hectic life, even if it is just for a quick peek at the new items in the shop window.

They wanted to step away from the coldness of mass production and decided to create authorship furniture from abandoned items. In the hands of the designers Eduardo Moura and Isabela Miranda, a spring mattress ends up on the wall as a basis to hang pictures and objects on. A leather suitcase and a wooden crate become tables. The designers intervene on many of the pieces with serigraphy or laser prints.

Visits to the showroom must be booked in advance.

Miam Miam > Rua General Góes Monteiro, n° 34 – Botafogo > 21 2244-0125 > www.miammiam.com.br 46

In charge of the kitchen, the chef Roberta Ciasca follows the trend of the so-called “comfort food”: home-made and contemporary. The decoration, with furniture from 1950’s to 1970’s is eye-catching and has become a mark of the restaurant. The lacquered table, typical of the kitchen of the 1970’s, once considered old-fashioned, looks charming there and it is their most popular item. Yes, all pieces, belonging to the store Hully Gully, in Copacabana, are for sale.

Monica Carvalho

Juliana Suassuna created, together with her sister, Ana Beatriz, this atelierstore that works in a charming alley.

It started with accessories that were sold to other brands such as Clube Chocolate, New Order, Isabela Capeto and Maria Bonita Extra. Their creativity and use of unusual components should be highlighted. After finding success, the sisters started producing dresses that, just like the accessories, are imprinted with concepts and personal experiences.

> Rua Maestro Francisco Braga, nº 442, sala 101 – Copacabana > 21 2547–9959 > www.monicacarvalho.com.br 47

In the hands of the designer Monica Carvalho, natural fibers become bracelets and necklaces. From trunks and seeds come out sculptures and the palm fiber becomes a cushion. In every product, there is the strong presence of nature, her source of raw materials and inspiration as well.

RIO Design GUIDE

Museu das Telecomunicações Instituto Oi Futuro > Rua Dois de Dezembro, n° 63 – Flamengo > 21 3131-3060 > www.oifuturo.org.br 48

RIO Design GUIDE

Before housing the Museu das Telecomunicações (Museum of Telecommunications), the building, which was built in 1918, was the home of the Museum of Telephone: at that time, the museum was a place everybody knew of, but not even the cariocas visited. Its history changed when, in 2007, the building came to be the main site of the Institute of Social Responsibility of Oi, a telephone company that built there the first Museum of Telecommunications in the country. The museum has become an international reference in contemporary art: flexible and transparent structures offer each visitor the opportunity to experiment the space in a different way. Another strong point is the cultural program, with top-quality alternative activities, ranging from concerts to exhibitions. Today, every well-informed carioca knows and visits the Museum, which is now a meeting point. And so culture scores another point.

49

Mutações > Largo dos Leões, n° 81, loja C – Humaitá > 21 2530-4201 > www.lojamutacoes.com.br

A store committed with the principles of sustainability. Organic, recycled/recyclable, reused, low energy consumption, low residue production, renewable resources, local resources, and fair trade are the attributes that define the products offered at Mutações, in line with its proposal of provoking and stimulating a change in consumer behavior towards a more responsible consumption.

RIO Design GUIDE

Oui Oui > Rua Conde de Irajá, n° 85 – Humaitá > 21 2527-3539 > www.restauranteouioui.com.br

At Oui Oui, the same group that is in charge of Miam Miam created a contemporary menu served only in small portions so the client can try a little of everything. From the decoration to the way the food is served – on wooden-framed wall tiles, baskets made of banana tree leaves or little clay pans – everything is delicious. The first salon of the old house is inspired by the 1920’s, in art déco style. The second one, with glass fiber chairs and tables and a mirrorred bar, sends us back to the 1970’s.

The furniture is for sale.

Quiosques de Copacabana > Avenida Atlântica – Praia de Copacabana

The project signed by Guto Indio da Costa’s design firm modernized the traditional kiosks on the Copacabana seafront. Their rounded shapes, glass and transparency do not obstruct the view of the beach and the sea. The kiosks’ project also took to the seafront some famous restaurants like Bar Luiz and Siri Mole. It is equipped with underground industrial kitchen, restrooms and dressing rooms.

“In the land of the toothless, he who has a tooth is king.”

The sentece is stamped on one of the most successful T-shirts of the kids line of the store which defined its business by its sense of humor. Q Vizu was created in 2004 by brother and sister with the objective of bringing the cariocas’ irreverence to collections that include clothes, accessories and even objects for the home.

Their flagship is the T-shirts stamped with good-humored sentences created by the owners themselves. Now the brand has just started a partnership with a designer.

Their designer of choice was Rita Wainer, who stuck to the original idea: to laugh and make others laugh.

At Ana Be Rose, a notebook is more than a bunch of sheets: it is a space reserved for eternalizing memorable moments, secret thoughts, our life that passes by. The brand was created in 1990 from the concept of a fashion stationery store focused on art, design, and status. Their products are developed on softened leather, special paper, and can even feature silver and gold monograms.

Bentô > Rua Anibal de Mendonça, n° 55 – Ipanema > 21 2512-9995 > www.bentojapa.com.br

The idea is to offer a Japanese fast food restaurant. Bento means lunchbox in Japanese. The food is served on a charming tray, full of boxes with individual portions. It is up to each client to choose their favorite combination.

Everything, from the name and the look of the store to the way the food is served and even to the uniform of the workers, has been designed by Tátil Design in order to mark the idea that Bentô is a different Japanese restaurant.

The takeaway packaging, easy to build and produced without using glue, was conceived from one cardboard sheet, avoiding material waste and combining innovation and sustainability. It was a hit: the restaurant is very pleasant and its project was already awarded an iF, one of the most important design prizes in the world.

Casa da Alessa

57

> Rua Nascimento Silva, n° 399 – Ipanema > 21 2287-9939 > www.alessa.com.br

The clothes created by the carioca Alessa Migani, who studied Design at Central St. Martins, in London, are bold and have a sense of humour, with a half-artisanal, halfsophisticated quality. Famous for exploiting unusual locations in her fashion shows, such as supermarkets, auto-repair offices and the kitchen of the Copacabana Palace Hotel, in 2002 she inaugurated the Casa da Alessa, a mix of home and atelier.

They offer furniture, boxes, blankets, overlays, cushions, trays, lamps and a great variety of beautiful fabrics. One of the highlights of the house/store is the work of the English designer Tricia Guild, the almighty “fabrics lady”, who is in charge of the London-based store Designers Guild, known for its elegant colors and patterns.

Feirarte – Feira Hippie de Ipanema > Praça General Osório – Ipanema > www.feirahippieipanema.com > Sundays from 9 a.m. through 7 p.m.

The sun sets in the late Sunday afternoon. In Ipanema, a whole block seems to “burst” with people, novelties and meetings. It’s the Hippie Fair, which has happened every Sunday since 1968 on Praça General Osório (General Osorio Square). As the name says, the event was created by a group of young hippie artists and artisans who couldn’t find an art gallery in which to exhibit their work. In this first group of long-haired artists were some successful fashion designers, such as the handbag designer Victor Hugo.

Today, the Hippie Fair became professionalized: it features 900 stands with different creations, from paintings to clothes, jewels and decoration pieces. The “essence” of the movement was maintained, though. There, the exhibitors are the artists themselves. Therefore, go there when you have time to spend. Finding new pieces is as good as meeting new people. Nothing more carioca.

61

Forneria São Sebastião > Rua Aníbal de Mendonça, n° 112 – Ipanema > 21 2540-8045 > www.restauranteforneria.com.br

The name is a homage to the patron saint of the Cidade Maravilhosa (Wonderful City, Rio’s nickname).

But if you don’t want to sound like a fish out of water, call it just “Forneria” and everybody will know what you mean. The project of the place is signed by the prize-winning architect Isay Weinfeld. The open-wall storefront gave the place more comfort and a very carioca informality. The menu features Italian-style sandwiches, treated here as high gastronomy. And there is also the musical menu with more than 600 songs, that can be chosen by the client.

The internationally famous flip-flop with simple design featuring only two straps was created in the 1960’s. From the 1990’s on, there have been investments in the repositioning of the brand and in the creation of new patterns, colors and models.

Nothing can stop them now: they have been awarded prizes, are now seen as an icon of Brazil and became a mania both nationally and abroad (they are sold in more than 60 countries.) Now the Havaianas are found in exclusive stores, packed with different models everywhere you look.

Homegrown > Rua Maria Quitéria, n° 68, sobreloja – Ipanema > 21 2513-2160 > homegrownrio.blogspot.com

A clothes store that is also an art gallery and can be turned into a space for shows and parties with a lot of independent music, Homegrown was born in Ipanema from the idea of creating a democratic, urban and authentic space. The concept was a hit: today the store sells exclusive products by great brands such as Nike. The parties that take place there have also achieved fame and often happen in combination with some design or grafitti exhibition. Good for looking at, shopping, and dancing.

Hotel Fasano > Avenida Vieira Souto, n° 80 – Ipanema > 21 3202-4000 > www.hotelfasano.com.br

The project of the boutique-hotel is signed by the French Philippe Starck. The terraces, present in every apartment decorated with Sergio Rodrigues’ Diz Armchairs and overlooking the sea of Arpoador and Ipanema beaches, have become a symbol of the hotel. The mirrors in the rooms have been designed by Stark himself, inspired by Salvador Dalí; the employees wear uniforms created by Ocimar Versolato. Sophistication is all around.

H.Stern: Museu + Loja > Rua Garcia D’Ávila, n° 113 – Ipanema > 21 2106-0000 > www.hstern.com.br

Located in the most charming block of Ipanema, among cariocas visiting the H.Stern Museum is considered to be “a tourist thing”. They couldn’t be more wrong. In the building that houses the main site of the jewelry store, one can learn a lot about mineral exploration processes, the lapidation of precious stones, the classification of the gems and jewelry design.

H.Stern Home 64

> Rua Garcia D’Ávila, n° 102 > 21 2239-7845 > www.hsternhome.com.br

The name of the store reflects the luxury of their jewels. And there is luxury here, too, in the utilitarians’ arena. They offer Danish brands, such as Holmegaard, and French porcelain signed by the designer Vera Wang. The vases, also French, by Emaux de Longwy, have been produced since the reign of Napoleão Bonaparte. Not to leave out African and Thai names, prize-winning designers are also present, such as Ettore Sottsass, Karim Rashid, Zaha Radid, and Paula Navone.

RIO Design GUIDE

The brand pioneered the use of Brazilian stones in a time when jewellers were only interested in Oriental stones like rubies and saphires. Today, amethysts, topazes, and turmalines enchant the world. Another trump by H.Stern is their investment in exclusive design, with collections that can be inspired by architecture – the master Orcar Niemeyer has already been a theme – or even by dance, like when the Corpo dance company was chosen as a theme.

The carioca company is the biggest dealership of Melissa in Brazil and it has developed their own line of accessories that match the sandals.

But as cool as their products are the cultural activities that take place there: shows and exhibitions related to the universe of Design make the place a meeting point of trendy people. To know what is on the program, you can use the internet, since the brand is connected to social networks where you can find updated information.

A multi-brand store that brings together new names in Brazilian fashion. So is Macaca de Ipanema, a store that created its own authorial style along the years.

The items have an artisanal touch, with hand-painted fabrics, patchwork and embroidery. The team of fashion designers can vary, since the brand is always looking for new talents. The main requirements? A lot of creativity and boldness.

Market Ipanema > Rua Visconde de Pirajá, n° 499 – Ipanema > 21 3283-1438 > www.marketipanema.com.br

If you want to try the homey seasoning of Market Ipanema, you’d better write down the address correctly. Otherwise, you are bound to miss the discreet entrance to the restaurant, located on the most elegant block of Ipanema.

Such privacy is the charm of the place: after going in, the visitor walks down a long corridor that ends in a garden with tables under the trees. The idea is that the clients should relax while enjoying a variety of natural juices or, if they prefer, alternative drinks such as the banana and honey caipirinha (a variation of the original caipirinha, made with sugarcane spirit, sugar and lemon juice). The dishes are prepared with natural ingredients, mostly organic. The informal setting is frequented both by beachgoers and dressed up couples going for a candlelit romantic dinner. A democratic place, just like the sands of Ipanema beach.

It was to protect his fellow travellers from the cold during an expedition to the Aconcagua mountain, in Argentina, that the doctor from the south of Brazil Oskar Metsavaht created his first item of clothing. It was a hit and it became a business that today boasts stores from New York to Tokyo. What they sell is more than clothes: it’s a concept in the form of clothes. It is Oskar himself who is the director of style and creation of the brand, and devises the store’s marketing campaigns and atmosphere.

Forget about T-shirts with manifesto or double meaning sentences. At Sinaps, the items are creations full of concept and authorship. Each season, a different illustrator is invited to design the patterns and drawings that are chosen according to the collection’s theme. As well as the T-shirts, the flagship of the brand, the store/gallery also offers a variety of products that follow the same concept: from bags to jewels, all items are authorial creations.

On the map of Brazil, Sobral is a municipality of the state of Ceará, 240 km from its capital, Fortaleza. On the map of Design, Sobral is the brand that stole the singer Beyoncé’s heart. The pop diva used the resin jewels in her videoclip recorded in Brazil, in the summer of 2010.

The material was discovered by the designer Carlos Alberto Rezende Sobral, in 1976, from Argentinian craftsmen. Two years later, he opened his first factory, in the Fluminense Lowlands, a region of the state of Rio de Janeiro. The pieces used to be sold in crafts street markets, but now they can be found at the stores of the brand, in Paris and New York. In Rio, they can be found with a quick visit to the South Zone of the city.

Toca do Vinícius

Centro de Referência da Bossa Nova > Rua Vinícius de Moraes, n° 129, loja C – Ipanema > 21 2247 5227 > www.tocadovinicius.com.br

The space dedicated to Vinícius de Moraes and Bossa Nova was founded in 1993, not by chance, in the heart of Ipanema, on the street that was named after the poetinha (little poet) – Vinícius’ nickname. The rustic decoration made of wood lends and intimist feel to the place and makes the visitor feel at home to sift through the innumerable CDs, DVDs, books, records and T-shirts boasting classic quotes

by Vinícius. The collection is so vast that in 2008 it also became the Centro de Referência da Bossa Nova (the Bossa Nova Reference Center), which is now in charge of organizing talks and shows that take place once a month, in the best carioca style: on the sidewalk, for free, for those who are going down the street towards the sea.

It is a wise thing to visit the space when you have time to spare. Not that it is too big, but from the kitchen accessories to the objects and pieces of furniture spread around the two-storey house, everything is irresistible. They have a salt shaker with a Chinese little figure from the famous Italian brand Alessi, a neon-green dish rack, designed by Marc Newson, also from the Italian brand Magis, colorful fruit bowls by the Campana brothers, dwarf stools

by Philippe Starck, as well as modern lamps and furniture by renowned or new designers.

It is Isabela Piereck herself (Zazá) who takes care of the ambience of the contemporary food restaurant she opened with her husband. A wall with grafitti, low tables, images from distant countries, wood marquetry, a lot of candles, red velvet roses, a mix of different plates and glasses, fun sentences on the walls of the bathroom... everything creates an intimist and pleasant atmosphere.

Dona Coisa > Rua Lopes Quintas, n° 153 – Jardim Botânico > 21 2249-2336 > www.donacoisa.com.br

A store that presents itself as an environment of diversity and creativity deserves special attention.

It deserves even more attention if the space brings together collections by more than 60 Brazilian designers, both beginners and experienced ones, that stand out by their originality. The multi-brand store offers a great variety of products: from clothes – their strength – to objects for the home, jewels, bijouteries and art books. It’s worth the visit. The danger is to be led into temptation and feel like taking everything.

EAV – Escola de Artes Visuais Parque Lage > Rua Jardim Botânico, n° 414 – Jardim Botânico > 21 3257-1800 > www.eavparquelage.rj.gov.br

There are many reasons that make the visit to EAV (School of Visual Arts of Parque Lage) a must, the first being the mansion where it is located, which is listed as a Brazilian historic and artistic heritage site by Iphan (The National Historic and Artistic Heritage Institute).

Projected by the architect Mário Vodrel in 1920, the mansion was built to be the residence of the Brazilian shipowner Henrique Lage and his wife, the Italian lyrical singer Gabriela Besanzoni. In 1975, the space came to house the EAV and, since then, both the mansion and the park have staged memorable events of the national culture, such as popular music shows. They have also been used as the set for the classic films Macunaíma and Earth Entranced (Terra em Transe). Do you need any other reasons why not to skip this visit?

Here you won’t find any plastic figures or electronic games: most of the toys in the store are made of wood, tin or paper and bring many people back to their early days. They offer marionettes, puppets, trucks, kites, musical instruments and little pans that revive games and play from the past.

Everything is simple and artisanal. You run the risk that the toy you buy for the kids may end up as a piece of decoration in the living room.

They also boast a collection of carpets signed by Regina Kato, who is also a designer and Jaeger’s business partner.

It’s Sunday and you have nothing to do? So, go to Praça Santos Dumont (Santos Dumont Square). Well, go there even if you have something else to do, because it’s worth the visit. More than a shopping session, walking among the 85 exhibitors of the flea market is almost like a History class. At the stands, you will find objects from the most different origins and periods. To pick up a chat with the exhibitor is great fun, because they always have some story to tell about the pieces they sell.

Giulia Borges > Rua Lopes Quintas, n° 157 Jardim Botânico > 21 2429-3237 > www.giuliaborges.com.br

In 2007, the fashion designer and businesswoman Giulia Borges made her first appearance in the carioca fashion week. She was only 23 and full of ideas which greatly influenced (and still do) many women. Born in the state of Espírito Santo, this “wonder girl” started making and selling her creations in alternative fashion markets until she had opened her first store. She is one of the most creative revelations of Rio’s fashion design.

The couple Ana and Henry Gentil (she is Brazilian, he is French) started their business by delivering bread to the clients’ door on a charming bike with wicker baskets. As well as the diversity of truly French bread types, we should highlight the look of the brand: from the bicycle itself, to the packaging, the website and the store they opened in Jardim Botânico – a rustic decoration based on a lot of wood and charm.

Few people are as connected to the sea as Rio’s inhabitants: the seafront is a meeting point, a space for exercising and a place to see and be seen. In the last few decades, the carioca beaches got even more elegant thanks to Lenny Niemeyer’s creations. The businesswoman, born in São Paulo, “paddled into this wave” almost by chance: in 1980, when she had just arrived in Rio, Lenny hired a seamstress and bought some kilos of lycra to make a bikini the way she had envisaged. The pieces with sophisticated cuts, a little more well-behaved than the traditional Brazilian bikinis, were so successful that, five years after, she was producing for the most famous labels in the country. In 1993, the fashion designer opened her first own store. Where? In Ipanema, very close to the “sandy catwalk”.

Loja do Bom Desenho > Rua Maria Angélica, n° 113 G – Jardim Botânico > 21 2266-5145

The store was inaugurated in the same year the ESDI – Escola Superior de Desenho Industrial (Higher School of Industrial Design) opened its doors, in 1964. It was the pioneer of the businesses focused on Design items. The owners, Henrique and Teresa Colassanti, who studied at ESDI, make a selection of pieces of furniture, objects, kitchen utilitarians, lamps (such as the Eclipse, by Mauricio Klabin), jewelry, wallets and bags (there are models made of tururi straw, from Amazonas.)

Metalbagno > Rua Marquês de São Vicente, n° 52, Shopping da Gávea, 2° piso – Gávea > 21 2294-8091 > www.metalbagno.com.br

Bathrooms are no longer a place dedicated only for personal higyene, as the Americans thought.

Now they also admit, thanks to the Japanese influence, that bathrooms are, before anything else, a space for pleasure, relaxation... and a lot of technology.

Metalbagno represents, in Brazil, two of the best and most creative businesses in the sector: Italbagnoda, from Italy, and the German Hansgrohe. At Metalbagno’s showroom, we can closely “feel” the Design of Starck, Urquiola, and Citterio, amongst others. And we can see what the shower cabins and shower panels are all about. Metalbagno is a self-proclaimed “solution provider” – and it’s not just bragging.

Palaphita Kitch > Quiosque 20 – Lagoa (next to Corte do Cantagalo) > 21 7841-7843 > www.palaphitakitch.com.br

The kiosk-restaurant in Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas (Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon) took ambience seriously, with the idea of creating an “Amazon corner” at the place. The vegetation, lighting, furniture and utensils used to serve the food contribute with the sensation of simplicity and coziness. The tables, sofas and benches, made of certified reforestation eucaliptus, were created and crafted by the owner of the space, Mario de Andrade. On the menu, exotic ingredients from the Amazon, like jambu, a herb with anesthetic and aphrodisiac properties, tucupi, a sauce made of fermented manioc juice, and mangarataia, an Amazonic ginger. The view overlooking the Lagoon, Cristo Redentor (Christ, the redeemer statue), and Pedra da Gávea (Gávea’s Rock)... is undescribable!

Like every story, this one also started with an encounter. And like every partnership, it also started with an invitation. In 1997, the designer Flávia Torres was invited to teach craft techniques for the Projeto São Cipriano (São Cipriano Project), dedicated to the professionalization of girls in the West Zone of Rio. The result was so good that, one year after, she opened her first store to sell the material produced. The pieces mix rustic crafts with contemporary design, using bright colors and exclusive patterns and textures. “Noble” creations, just like the history of the brand.

A space dedicated to the most typical Brazilian alcoholic beverage: so is the Academia da Cachaça, a place that is half restaurant, half bar and full of “Brazilianness” – from the green and yellow flag hanging from the ceiling to the ingredients used in the dishes, appetizers and cocktails. The idea is to offer a space where cachaça, a sugarcane spirit, is taken seriously: the guest has the opportunity to try many variations of the drink. In the Barra da Tijuca branch, more than 2,000 bottles cover the walls and tell more than 130 years of the spirit’s history.

Once upon a time, there lived two childhood friends in love with Rio, the sea and surfing. For the group of friends who surfed at the same spot to stand out from the crowd, they decided to create drawings on the surfboards, stickers and T-shirts boasting the name Addict. The idea was such a hit that in no time it was stamped on all surfboards of the area, giving rise to the brand that is proud of having been originated from the movement of a “tribe”. The style of the unisex brand follows the informal fashion of the seaside – it couldn’t be otherwise –, seasoned with creativity and concept.

Ausländer means foreigner in German. The designer Ricardo Bräutigam opened the business after noticing that the Brazilian market for stamped T-shirts was too little explored and the pieces he brought from abroad were a hit.

The business expanded and Ricardo, who worked as a web designer making the websites of national bands, left the virtual world to dedicate his talent to fashion.

Born in the city of Manaus, the businesswoman has literally found in the roots of the country the inspiration for her work, transforming seeds and tree barks into jewelry. The design goes from the most sophisticated, mixing silver and gold to the raw materials, to the simplest, interefering as little as possible in the shape of the seed. As well as necklaces, bracelets and earrings, the designer also creates accessories – bags, belts and sandals that value our most precious asset: nature.

It was one of the first bookstores in Rio to become a meeting point, with an area for reading, music and gastronomy. A tip: between books, don’t forget to try the chocolate brownie, almost as good as the biggest classics.

But this is no surprise: the pretty retro design of the automobile, created in 1959 to be an economical and cheap car in the post-war England, became an icon that has been collecting followers. Today belonging to BMW, the dealership located on the main avenue of Leblon follows the trends of Mini’s boutiques in Europe, selling accessories, clothes and objects of the brand.

When you are in the streets of Ipanema, thrilled with the colorful and uninhibited bikinis of the carioca girls, try to look at the brand of the bikinis: most pieces that (hardly) cover their worked out bodies will be creations by Jacqueline de Biasi, founder of Salinas. The brand came up in 1982. At that time, Jacqueline couldn’t draw or sew. She would simply undo what she found in other stores and reinvent the models.

The creativity and good eye to know what the consumers were looking for made the fashion designer create pieces that today are all over the carioca beaches, such as the bikini with rolled-up bottom straps, the strapless top with concealed push-up frame and the current models with loop knots on the sides. What’s coming next, Jacqueline?

The brand counts on the touch and creativity of Oskar Metsavaht. This is the best reference to introduce New Order, the brand of women’s shoes and accessories that belongs to the group Osklen. The same (prizewinning) concepts that their much-admired creation team imprints on their clothes are also on their shoes, bags and everything else that crosses their minds. The items are developed based on extended research and have a style that is in tune with the main collection: a sporty, but sophisticated touch, just like Osklen’s. The difference between the two brands? The prices of the group’s “youngest daughter” are much more, we may say, “competitive”.

RIO Design GUIDE

Beyond the stores One of the main characteristics of Brazilian design is that the designers invest in developing and marketing their own products. That phenomenon is still a remnant of the time when the industry did not believe in design, or in some cases a choice of the designer himself. Fortunately, that phenomenon 124

tends to become more and more rare, since the Brazilian design is improving continuously and becoming more coveted.

This appreciation begins in Brazil and reaches foreign markets, and sometimes, on the contrary, international editors and industries are the ones who detect and catch new talents. We’re talking about Rio’s designers that are able to move in all directions and at the most diverse fields, always with quality and innovative designs.
