Where His Story Begins: Grasscloth & A Life-Changing Discovery While studying law in Brazil, Fernando met a friend who installed wallpaper for a living. At the time, Fernando had no idea wallpaper installation was even a profession, let alone one that required skill, finesse, and creativity.
Intrigued, he asked to learn more.
Soon, he was experimenting with high-end wallcoverings of all kinds— silks, linens, specialty fabrics, and prints. But one material stopped him in his tracks: grasscloth.
Unlike traditional wallpaper, grasscloth demands incredible patience and mastery. Its natural fibers, subtle variations, and delicate textures mean that:
• seams must be flawless
• patterns must be perfectly aligned
• materials must be handled with unique care It is the kind of craft you don’ t“ do”— you master. And Fernando realized he had found his calling.
From Courtrooms To Craftsmanship He finished law school.
He entered courtrooms.
He experienced the politics, pressure, and pace of the legal profession.
And then he made one of the boldest decisions of his life: he left law to follow his passion.
He chose beauty over bureaucracy. Art over arguments. Craftsmanship over conflict. That leap of faith changed everything.
