ANA REVELLO VAZQUEZ E RENATO SOLIO

The architects Ana Revello Vazquez and Renato Sólio work together for Saccaro since 1984. The partnership gave them several prizes at the furniture design area, with Terraças, Via Durini, Paluc and Santa Bárbara collections products, besides their contributions to build a brand concept design during some years. To Renato Solio, “seeking inspiration in consumers` habitat means knowing how to satisfy and understand the desire design that balances shape and function, creating the unexpected.” According to him, the Design Habitat means finding products with Saccaro´s DNA, where craftsmanship and technology merge to create the piece of furniture that arouses desire and admiration. Ana Revello Vazquez was born in Uruguay. She is a disenãdora” and an architect graduated from the University of the Republic, Montevideo. She has been working as a designer for over 30 years, helping develop the furniture industry in Brazil while working with leading companies in the sector. Ana has more than 300 products being commercialized and has already received a number of design awards. In her family, she is the third generation architect to work in her office. She sees architecture in a broad manner, acting in all scales of the professional practice – since one complements the other. Ana sees creation as the materialization of thought: the more a product, a shape, a style is identified with the ideas of a moment, of a period, the more valid it becomes. “The habitat of consumers shows what they believe, think and expect from present values, becoming a mirror of their way of life.” To her, Habitat Design is a challenge of more than 25 years of partnership: at Saccaro, design has been always present, and Ana`s journey, as a designer, merges with that of Saccaro. Innovation, technology research, materials and people´s needs, mostly, are the premises for design. “Saccaro creations reflect what one feels, thinks and lives. These are the ingredients considered as essential.”
