WHO WE ARE
Sustainability is a no-way-back journey and it is present in our processes and choices.
Opened since June 2020, we are a Brazilian design brand, whose catalog includes furniture and accessories. Our products are exclusive and signed by a team of 14 designers curated by Clarissa Schneider, with the approval and affection from our partners. The +55 Design concept store was designed by Arthur Casas and is located at Alameda Gabriel Monteiro, in São Paulo. We have a network of partner stores that represent us in the main cities in Brazil.
Our products have an accent, a culture and the look of every corner of Brazil. We work with important hubs in the furniture industry in São Paulo and in the Brazilian southern region, including artisans associations from the backwoods of the northeastern region and the backwoods of Minas Gerais (located in southeastern Brazil), in addition to indigenous and riverside communities located in the Amazon region.
