Pedro Paulo-Venzon is a Brazilian designer whose objects and artefacts draw on a decolonial reading of modern and contemporary design in Brazil. Since completing his studies in 2011, he has built a practice that moves between authorial and industrial design, between local and global references, and between tradition and its reinterpretation. In 2016 he was a finalist for a Next Generation Designer award, and in 2017 he took part in the Handmade issue of Wallpaper* magazine, which included an exhibition and a publication. For Viccarbe he designed two side tables, Bamba and Giro, introduced in December 2017 as part of Viccarte, the company's collection of exclusive pieces. Both explore the tensions that run through his work, between industry and art and between tradition and modernity, and draw a connection between Mediterranean and Brazilian cultures.
