At this year’s Salone del Mobile in Milan, Brazilian designers seized an opportunity to shine. The country grew its presence at the fair, which bounced back from the smaller Supersalone last year, thanks to a big push on Brazilian furniture, culture, materials, and design from the Brazilian Association of the Furniture Industry (Abimóvel). “Design Transforma,” an exhibition presented through the Brazilian Furniture Project by Abimóvel and The Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (Apex-Brasil), showcased 12 Brazilian designers and 21 Brazilian furniture manufacturers at Milan’s Piazza Santo Stefano.

One Voice
Each day interior designers use their voices and visions to reshape spaces--and therefore the lives of those occupying them--for the better. With those same voices working in unison, they have the power to design a better future for themselves and the entire profession. That is why ASID began One Voice; to empower interior designers to get involved and advocate for or against the public policy that will ultimately influence their careers and lives.
