Born in 1978 and raised in a small city in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil, Gustavo Dias was fortunate to have spent his childhood between his uncle’s farm where he developed an interest for nature and the city, which allowed him the freedom to put his creativity into play by building skateboard ramps on the streets. From an early age, Gustavo and his sisters, both artists, were taught by their parents to be creative and always find ways to express themselves through art. Gustavo was heavily influenced by his father, who despite a business degree, was always engaged in artistic activities using his spare time painting, building furniture and developing other skills. Despite these influences, it wasn’t until later, at the age of 16, that Gustavo had his very first contact with sculpture, woodcarving, and other techniques while attending an exchange student program in the US. Since then, his creative endeavors went from studying marketing, cinema and sculpture to finally grounding his passion for design in nature by choosing wood as the main source of inspiration for his art and design. He opened his first workshop in 2006 where objects and furniture are shaped by hand, assembled with traditional techniques and combined with improvisations that allow Gustavo to go from early sketches to final products in a combination of form and function, belief and art, and the rest is history!
