Created exclusively with Brazilian products, Ótica da Gus Eyewear bears the mark of architect and designer Mariana Monnerat, who usually emphasizes Brazilianness in her projects. In the center of the space, a brise serves as a display shelf for the glasses and also separates the circulation and service areas. Floors, walls and furniture were sculpted with national stones that would otherwise be discarded, and a fabric stained during the floods in Rio Grande do Sul was also incorporated into one of the pieces. “Sustainability was a central principle of the project, guiding the choice of materials, the size of the pieces and the construction method.”
