Ovo [which translates as “egg” in Portuguese] is an association between Brazilian designers Luciana Martins and Gerson de Oliveira. They have been creating furniture, objects, and artistic projects since 1991. Their tables, chairs, bookshelves, and lamps combine formal quality and usability with a twist – they often contain some kind of humorous comment about home and living.According to Japanese magazine Axis, “Ovo’s take on design involves creating smart artifacts that affect our perceptions.”Ovo has received design awards in Brazil, and their creations are often seen in the pages of publications that map design’s strong features, such as Phaidon’s & Fork (2007), and Daab’s Young Designers Americas (2006).According to Portuguese curator Guta Moura Guedes, founder of ExperimentaDesign – Lisbon Biennial, “expressive communication ability, together with a subtle contamination of more artistic universes, give Ovo’s works rather symbolic dimensions. This Brazilian design studio is one of the most exciting at the moment, due to their consistent creations.”
