Handmade objects , with human warmth , bear a stamp of originality , inside and outside of Brazil , thus arousing admiration .
The studio has the atmosphere of a loom due to the unique way a significant portion of the products are involved by weaving material . Nautical rope , a material used to cover most products , has become his major identity .
Sérgio Matos ’ s creations are quite conceptual , but they work as a piece of art or in the daily life of a family . At the same time , in the many projects that Sérgio Matos develops in artisan communities , each experience generates entrepreneurial opportunities ; rescues individual and collective dreams ; strengthens belief in ancestral skills and projects self-esteem as fuel to enhance riches that are at the fingertips , in the palm of our hand .
