Roberto Romero Bowls and Baskets

Argentinian

Roberto Romero works are inspired by Brazilian flora and fauna or studies of objects' shape, color, and shadow. This encounter of inspiration leads his pieces through three stages of creation until the final process—lines as geometric design, color as an imagery potential, and light as an expansion of their shapes.

Along this path, his projects cross the boundaries of design, architecture, and art, which expand to other understandings of these segments, considering the structures that address these challenges. 

The production involves the participation of artisan labor from communities in Rio de Janeiro. These artisans are master craftsmen and welders who work in Carnival samba schools and collaborate with the modeling and welding of the pieces. In many cases, we are talking about small workshops where the workers are people from the same family, spouses, and children of the artisans, who participate in their manual work. In this way, it creates employment and allows the passing of technical knowledge to children from generation to generation. 

The steel used to make the pieces is largely recovered and recycled from remains of costumes and carnival float structures, reusing the material. The main intention is to create more sustainable pieces, with the aim of reducing production costs and, at the same time, contributing to social awareness and reducing environmental pollution.
