Mauricio F. Dias, from Paraná, graduated in product design, postgraduate in strategic design management and working in the furniture sector for 14 years. His activities began with the development of product engineering, which made him familiar with the factory floor and the processes involved. Contact with people who bring projects to life became a great learning experience and created a lot of respect for the expertise of those who produce. Knowing and learning about processes and combining them with academic knowledge is enriching and as a designer it motivates you to explore new forms for new products in the search for beauty, harmony of materials, balance between form and function, and also encourages you to equate interests between those who produce and those who consume design.
