Illusion Line, by Alva Design studio

Created by the Minas Gerais studio Alva Design – formed by siblings Susana Bastos and Marcelo Alvarenga –, the Ilusão line features lamps characterized by their ability to create visual effects through chromed or gold brass discs. The novelty comes from the new brand .autoral , created by Renato Tomasi and the store A de Arte .

Kogu lamp, by Brunno Jahara

Inspired by the shape of mushrooms, the Kogu lamp is a creation by Brunno Jahara for .autoral . With a minimalist and contemporary design, the piece is developed in two versions: table and floor.

Esphera lamp, by Sala Studio

For .autoral , Estúdio Sala – formed by architects Carla Cruz and Phill Pinheiro and CASACOR Minas Gerais staff – brings its style based on contemporary architecture and minimalist design to the Esphera floor lamp , a piece that combines futuristic aesthetics with functionality.

Liana Chandelier, by Juliana Pippi

Created for itens , the Cipó collection is the result of a collaboration between three women: Juliana Pippi , the designer responsible for the creation of the piece; Elvira Schuartz , a master in the ancient art of blown glass, and Mariana Amaral , the brand's creative director, who coordinated the integration of these creators' universes. The piece features nine hand-blown colored spheres and the brass structure contrasts with the delicacy of the light points.

Massage Bench, from É Pedra Atelier

The Massage bench is the first piece of furniture produced by É Pedra Ateliê and explores the tension between man and machine: built using a robotic arm, which 3D prints layer by layer, the robust bench is capable of supporting up to 140 kg. After this process, the piece is heated until it reaches its softening point, so that it can be worked manually. Its raw material is recycled HIPS, a plastic widely used in the manufacture of toys and household appliances.

Toquinho bench, by Studio MK27

Launched by Studio MK27 , founded by Marcio Kogan , for ETEL , the toquinho bench is made using exclusively leftover wood from the brand's manufacturing process.

Nomad Collection, by Juliana Vasconcelos

Designed by Juliana Vasconcellos for ETEL , the Nomad collection – comprising a desk, sideboard, sofa and bookcase – has a simple, architectural style that stands out due to the use of a jacquard fabric inspired by the topography of Minas Gerais in the upholstery.

Paricó Pendant, by Jayme Bernardo

The idea behind the Paricó pendant lamp ’s long, continuous fringe was born from the specific demands of a project with double ceiling height. Jayme Bernardo sought to fill the space with style. “To structure the piece, metal hoops of different sizes were used, forming a curvilinear silhouette that appears to float. The long natural fibers that hang down evoke the idea of refuge and are intended to filter the light,” he explains. The lamp is an exclusive launch by itens .

Trail Line, from Novidário

Taking part in SP-Arte for the third time, Novidário presents the Trilha collection , the result of extensive research by the brand into the use of recycled raw materials. The Mapa rug line is made from PET bottle waste and is a modular and customizable solution. Finally, the Pipa Chair , characterized by its lightness, resistance and economy, stands out for its retro aesthetic, giving a unique charm to spaces.

Candle lamps, by ,ovo

In the Vela series lamps by ,ovo , the fabric moves away from its traditional function as a covering and becomes a central element. Resting on a thin metal structure, which rests on a marble base, one or more rectangular pieces of linen dyed in a gradient reveal the chromaticity of their weave as the light passes through, in addition to moving slightly with the air. Based on this finding, designers Luciana Martins and Gerson de Oliveira use a range of stones in different colors, linens with different tone variations and different shapes and combinations to make each lamp a unique piece.

Sons of Metal Collection by Prototype

For the new Prototype collection, called Sons of Metal , designer Felipe Protti has developed 12 pieces that use the versatility of metal and all its qualities of durability, resistance and creative freedom. The pieces combine elements such as polished stainless steel or chromed iron with velvets, leathers, boucles and furs, exploring modernist and futuristic features.

ADmiriti Collection, by Guá Arquitetura

The coffee table from the ADmiriti Collection was designed collaboratively by Guá Arquitetura (composed of architects Luís Guedes and Pablo do Vale ) and artisan Valdeli Costa Alves , from Abaetetuba (PA) and was made from a lightweight wood extracted from the stem of the leaves of the palm tree known as miriti. The piece, like the entire collection, redefines the work of the artisan, with the purpose of valuing their knowledge, incorporating the essence of miriti into the design and is present at the d.Propósito Gallery stand.

Platinum Celeste Collection, by Cris Bertolucci

Inspired by themes that evoke cosmic fascination, such as the galactic universe, the lunar aura, the futuristic vision and the vastness of outer space, the Platina Celeste Collection by Cris Bertolucci Estúdio embraces a neo-baroque industrial approach combined with 21st century industrial functionality. With a palette of lunar tones of silver and sky blue, which are expressed in both the metallic materials and the acrylic used, the lamps in column, pendant and table lamp versions are developed in chromed brass and silver aluminum. The tables feature hand-molded shapes in cast aluminum that evoke extinct lunar lakes and lagoons, with different textures.

NOT ALL THAT GLITTERS IS GOLD, by TOMAZICABRAL

ESTAR debuts at SP-ARTE 2024 with the launch of the NEM TUDO O QUE RELUZ É OURO Collection, developed by the design duo Nicole Tomazi and Sérgio Cabral of TOMAZICABRAL . The name of the line invites reflection on values and instigates an analysis of perceptions regarding what is considered valuable. The new products are composed of sculptural pieces made with wheat straw and inspired mainly by the precious metal that gives its golden shine to the natural material of straw.

Chair of Arches, by Bernardo Figueiredo

In its first official participation in SP-ARTE, Schuster Móveis e Design presents the reissue of one of the most iconic pieces by modernist architect and designer Bernardo Figueiredo : the Arcos chair , created in the 1960s and which is still present today in the spaces of the Itamaraty Palace, in Brasília.
