About me

I am based in Switzerland and since 2013 I am developing lamps. It is is called Upcycling. As a lighting designer, I create unique pieces. There are also combinations of many different materials, everything that is no longer needed can be given a new life as a lamp. I love to illuminate scenarys and events, play with shadows and find nice effects.

I was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1963. From 1985 to 1990 she studied Architecture at the “Faculdade de Belas Artes”. In 2001 got a postgraduate degree in Marketing. For 20 years she worked as an architect in building development and planning and renovated apartments. I used to say that architects should start the light project first.

Through these activities she got experience and knowledge of a wide range of private and commercial projects.  

 

 

THE ATELIER

 

It is place where creative experimentation is encouraged, she can work while maintaining a pragmatic technique and there she finds necessary  people to develop them.  The Atelier is part of Team-solutions Projects, a Social Firm that combines a market orientation and a social mission. There is an atmosphere that allows for much freedom in design and allows breakthroughs in design to occur freely and none limitation. Every creation has been thought by her, researched, designed and tested with great attention to detail beyond her passion in its produce. There you have the option of working current to look at and buy. Addition to its own lamps creations and orders from clients and customers are carried out on request.

 

 

 

 

 

Selling my first lamp.

 

When Selina decided to buy the lamp and I showed her, she found a tape in it, whose musician is her loved one. She also has a tatoo with his name in her arm.

She thought buying the lamp as a present, but she changed her mind and kept for herself.

For me there is no coincidence. This lamp "called" her to be besides her!

"This lamp immediately caught my attention in the window where it was exposed. I find it very original and I like the idea of recycling old staff and giving them a second life as those tapes. I am delighted with my acquisition and my friends are jealous about it, they find it really beautiful!"
