São Paulo Fair

Meredith Schwartz -- Gifts and Dec, 10/10/2011 5:33:24 AM

Gifts & Decorative Accessories recently visited São Paolo, Brazil to attend the House & Gift Fair and concurrent events.

FIRST ON OUR SCHEDULE was the high end interior design ABUP show, where notable intros included Oxford Crystal's line of stemware inspired by São Paulo, and Origin Eco Logic eco-friendly solid wood housewares.
At the House & Gift Fair, Brazil's Export Plastic Council, introduced us to Ou, which produces an environmentally friendly plastic made with 60 percent polypropylene and 40 percent sugar cane, and Coza, whose offerings contain 40 percent coconut fibers. Coza's motto, Democracy of Design, also fits with Export Plastic's goal of encouraging a greater emphasis on design. In aid of this, the Export Plastic
council brought designer Karim Rashid to deliver the Fair's keynote. For the full market report, visit www.giftsanddec.com/article/543177-Direct_from_Market_Sao_Paulo_Brazil.php.
