Born in Belo Horizonte, Juliana Vasconcellos studied architecture and construction management. After living in New York, London and Barcelona she returned to Brazil and founded her own studio, working on private projects and creating original pieces. Her passion for furniture design stems from the many private project she worked on as her clients commissioned original pieces. Some of her designs are developed in partnership with her fellow architect Matheus Barreto. Bold, minimal, and nature-inspired, her strong, timeless designs are a mixture of simplicity and elegance. The craftsmanship, the harmonious volumes and well-thought details, lend each piece a particular emotional value.
