Rodrigo Almeida is a Brazilian designer who believes in the exploration of the culture itself, a process that helps him discover objects and ideas and transform them to new ones. This is not about a simple reproduction or improvement of the already existing concepts. This is more about a deep understanding of what they represent first and used as an inspiration later on; this way Almeida achives the cultural elements’ transmission to a brand new concept through a personalized manufacturing process.

Ivan Puig: "
Hasta las narices, 2004
Km7, 2002.
''Inventar otras formas posibles. Solucionar, manufacturar; chácharas y tiliches. Pepenar, reciclar, alargar la vida de objetos obsoletos, la tecnología y la lucha contra su enajenamiento. Preguntar, cuestionar, incidir; el sarcasmo, la ironía y la paradoja. Me gusta la contradicción, me gusta la poesía, la simpleza y la complejidad juntas, la sorpresa y sorprender. Me gusta que la gente se sonría cuando la pieza detona en su interior; me gusta, incitar, me gusta pensar que el arte tiene una fuerza transformadora, política y creativa, con resultados concretos y tangibles y también con efectos sublimes y sutiles. Me gustan las herramientas, disfruto transformar los materiales y gozo de las formas, procuro que mis piezas tengan varios niveles de lectura; me encanta la metáfora y los juegos de palabras. Me fascina el humor sencillo y lúcido. Me gusta el sonido y su capacidad de evocar y suscitar. Disfruto mucho de los procesos y del trabajo colectivo, suelo ser obsesivo en la buena factura de las piezas. Jugar a la ciencia y de pasada dudar de ella, dudar de todo, dudar de la duda misma, rayar en lo metafísico Observo y concluyo., temerario y temeroso, me enfuerece la prepotencia y la injusticia social.''

Christina West is an avid people watcher with a dry sense of humor, active imagination, and an innate impulse to create with her hands. If you meet her and she stares at you a bit too long, she's probably just picturing you naked.
