BRAZILIAN FURNITURE TRENDS
TO LOOK OUT FOR THIS YEAR
Sérgio Matos
2020 has been , for many , a year to forget . But it has taught us all something about our homes ; about the way we use them , what we value in them , and how the spaces we create , curate and cultivate reflect our own aspirations , and desires for comfort , safety , and sustainability .
The pandemic has forced us to reimagine our lived spaces . They have become more than a place to relax and sleep after a long day , or a place to entertain friends and family after a long week . In 2020 we have transformed our homes into offices , gyms and even classrooms , as we shelter from uncertainty outside .
As we look ahead to 2021 , and ask what the future will hold , one group of furniture designers from Brazil are facing up to the growing role of furniture in our lives , breathing their own identities , and a distinct spirit of Brasilidade through their work . A ‘ Brasilianness ’ that celebrates Brasil ’ s shape , colours and styles , including , but not limited to : wood , warm people , vibrant colours and cotton .
