By compiling pieces representing the most varied aspects of Brazilian design from the 1950s to 2015, the book Design brasileiro – lâmpadas (Brazilian Design – Luminaires) offers a historical overview of the evolution of national design through this selection of lighting objects. Organized by Estúdio Nada Se Leva and Marcelo Vasconcellos, from Galeria MeMo, the pieces were chosen for the consistency of their creators' work and for being relevant representations of national design. Among the 135 lamps, arranged chronologically, the book brings together classics such as Eclipse, by Maurício Klabin, pieces by big names such as Sergio Rodrigues and the Campana Brothers, and a surprising production by young designers, such as Dennys Tormen, Bruno Faucz and Pedro Venzon. “We are living in a design moment. Over the last 15 years in Brazil, a large number of new design courses, at technical or university level, have trained young professionals who are quickly integrated into the market, launching a significant number of new products. In addition to this, there is a growing demand for signature products that have Brazilian identity in their DNA. Industries and stores, attentive to consumer trends, are driving this segment, which is gradually becoming less elitist,” point out the members of Estúdio Nada Se Leva, André Bastos and Guilherme Leite Ribeiro, who are also lighting designers, in the book’s presentation.
