about
Created by Daniela Scorza and Caio de Medeiros F., Estudio Manus in 2024 celebrates 25 years creating and producing art objects, installations and solutions for residential and commercial spaces, always in a free and independent way. We seek results with a strong conceptual charge, timeless and simple, elegant, surprising and playful, with poetry and delicacy. It is also part of our history the design and realization of products in different materials and languages produced in limited series or as unique pieces, manufactured in partnership with small industries and artisans. A selection of rare, curious, ancient and ethnic objects also make up our small universe, put together in assemblages in a contemporary version of a 'Cabinet of Curiosities'.
From 2020, with the nomadic creation project, we will dedicate ourselves to the research and development of special editions in locations around the world, having São Paulo as our base and occupying different spaces as each work demands. These journeys and new paths can be followed on our social networks.
Throughout its existence, the Manus Studio has amply participated in design and art exhibitions in Brazil and abroad, such as 'Talents à la Carte' at Maison&Objet /Paris 2005; "Prix Découverte" of Le Point at the "Design Now!
