Oxford Armchair

Mauricio F. Dias, from Paraná, holds a degree in product design and a postgraduate degree in strategic design management, and has worked in the furniture industry for 14 years. His career began in product engineering, which gave him firsthand knowledge of the factory floor and the processes involved. Working with the people who bring projects to life became a great learning experience and gave him deep respect for the expertise of those who produce. Knowing and learning about the processes and combining them with academic knowledge is enriching, and as a designer it motivates him to explore new forms for new products in the pursuit of beauty, harmony of materials and balance between form and function, while also encouraging him to reconcile the interests of those who produce design with those of those who consume it.
