It’s a small world September 27, 2010
Bienal Brasileira de Design 2010, happening at the moment here in Curitiba, has a very nice Dannish exhibition called “It’s a Small World”, which discusses global issues such as sustainability, new technologies and consumption.
The intention is to discuss these question by presenting the production of a country with a long tradition in design, now quite worried and conscious finding creative solutions to environmental problems. The exhibition premiered in Copenhagen in 2009, went to Shanghai and now arrives in Brazil. In addition to the known tradition on furniture, it holds within the same space design, craftsmanship and architecture and aims to reveal a nation that wishes to make the design not only a cultural matter, but a crucial item on the socioeconomic agenda.

AMP Pocket Store August 16, 2010
Mini AMP Pocket Store is the new bet of a very nice Brazilian brand called A Mulher do Padre. Despite of its size (only 10 sq mt), the store was designed to give the sensation of amplitude, and it’s surrounded by a very cool non-sense communication that seems to be inspired on Sónar 2008. The collection brings some pieces that remind us a little bit of American Apparel style. Cool, it’s slowly arriving here!

Dalva & Dito May 24, 2010
Celebrity chef Alex Atala‘s regional restaurant Dalva & Dito in São Paulo is very Brazilian, delicious and not to be missed. His structured and architectonic version of classic dessert Romeu & Julieta (guava jam & cheese) is stunning and got me well impressed – so much so that I even made this little video to show every angle of this sweet construction:
