From the sea to a flowery garden: the pieces created by Rio Grande do Sul artisan Elias Lanzarini are produced based on his relationship with the sea on the Santa Catarina coast. The professional rescues materials from the same waters he admires, reusing wood from damaged boats – left adrift by their previous owners – that would otherwise be discarded.

Awarded at the first edition of the ELLE DECO International Design Awards, in 2023, with the piece Rainha do Mar, a tribute to Yemanjá, three creations by the artist provided by Autoria Design, were on display in the Jardim Raízes environment. The project is by architect and landscaper Rodrigo Gheller, head of the Terraço Arquitetura da Paisagem office, at CASACOR Santa Catarina | Florianópolis 2024 . The San Diego armchair, made from recycled fishing materials, invites you to relax and unwind in the midst of nature. Two more living areas make up the space with the Carijó chair and the Casaria bench, made by Elias using the same sustainable process. Elias' work exemplifies how design can embrace multiple sustainable aspects without sacrificing beauty and functionality, while also stimulating creativity and contributing to the preservation of the planet , which so desperately needs our attention.
