Fernando Sá Motta

Was born in Belo Horizonte, the capital of Minas Gerais. A self-taught designer and sculptor, he often says his career began in childhood, as he claims to have been “born drawing and creating.” He graduated in Industrial Design from the Design School of the State University of Minas Gerais in 2000. Since then, he has been featured in national and international publications and exhibitions in countries such as Italy, the USA, Israel, and South Africa. He has also received numerous awards and recognitions, including the Brazil Design Award, German Design Award, Samsung Design Award, Artefacto Design Award, Museu da Casa Brasileira, and Anglogold Auditions. Involved in various branches of product design, he has a strong presence in the high-end furniture market. Motta creates his own trends and has his own unique design style, believing that design must be original to stand out. His motto is: “A trend should be created, not followed.”
