John Araujo, Chevy Weingarten and Edgar Alves bring interior and product design into the same conversation. Together with the ELBRA atelier, the team connects the room, the furniture and the details that make them work.
For John Araujo, a piece begins with the line it draws in a room: a curve, a proportion, the meeting of two materials. Giving that idea a physical form asks as much of the maker as it does of the designer.
His design perspective connects interiors and furniture, considering the composition of a room alongside the character of each piece. Working with the ELBRA atelier carries that intent from the first drawing to the finished detail.
