The Phyllon collection, named after the Greek name for “leaf”, is a line of glasses developed for Inhotim Design Store in partnership with Moon Eyewear. The project translates the Inhotim’s botanical garden experience inspired by three species – Purple Taro (Colocasia esculenta), Philodendron, and Crane Flower (Strelitzia reginae) – which lend their nuances and unique elements to the personalization of each product. The frames were manufactured manually with material made from cottonseed.

Creation of exclusive prints for Inhotim Design Store’s Trópicos Collection placemats. The placemats are an addition to the collection that initially started with a porcelain drink and dinnerware set. The tropicality, exuberance of forms, and vibrant colors of Inhotim’s gardens inspired the illustrations that decorate Inhotim’s Trópicos Collection products.

Illustration for Inhotim kids’ line of products which presents the fauna and flora of Inhotim in a fun and educational way, encouraging children to learn by playing and creating new connections. In the “Inhabitants of the Park” collection, children discover the main species of fish that live in the lakes of Inhotim, such as Surubim, Carp, Tambaqui, and Traíra. A combination of learning and environmental awareness. Elephant paw? Monkey ear? The products in the “What Plant is This?” playfully present species typical of the botanical garden, explaining the origin of their popular names.

Print designed for the exclusive edition of Ipanema’s sandals for the Inhotim Design Store. The natural exuberance of the open-air contemporary art museum was the main inspiration, translated into the foliage of the Purple Yam (Colocasia esculenta) and Blue Palm (Bismarckia nobilis). Two of the most striking specimens in the Art Center’s gardens incorporate a contemporary interpretation, with manual strokes and overlapping layers of colors.
