Gustavo Bittencourt

Brazilian, 1986

Gustavo Bittencourt, a native of Rio de Janeiro, graduated from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro with a degree in Industrial Design. His career path was influenced by his mother, an architect, and this early exposure to design sparked his passion for the field.

 

During his time as a student, Gustavo Bittencourt honed his skills in furniture design, and his dedication paid off when his initial furniture designs were recognized and awarded in significant national competitions. This early success affirmed his chosen path and encouraged him to continue his journey in the world of design.

 

Gustavo's insatiable curiosity, thirst for knowledge and desire to enhance his skills drove him to collaborate with notable figures in the Brazilian design scene, including Zanini de Zanine, Marcelo Rosenbaum, and Rodrigo Calixto. He further expanded his horizons by pursuing studies in Italy, where he attended Politecnico di Torino. In 2020, he had the opportunity to work at the Thomas Heyes Gallery in Los Angeles, which provided him with international experience.

 

In 2020, Gustavo Bittencourt relocated to Petrópolis, a city in the mountainous region of Rio de Janeiro. There, he combined his design studio with a traditional carpentry workshop, resulting in the establishment of Atelier Gustavo Bittencourt. This collaborative space allows him to conceive, develop, produce, and market his design projects.

"I believe that we all have a look, a point of view on what we look at, we are all different. And my furniture is exactly my interpretation of shapes, mixtures, how I manage to express myself, how I transform my references, my points of view. sight, what I believe."

     

"I really like to develop my furniture with a difference, I like to create a relationship with people, develop an interaction, because I think of timeless furniture that lasts a lifetime. Therefore, this furniture ends up becoming not only furniture, but a good immaterial, irreplaceable, which ends up being part of the family, its history. I believe that when we put our hand, as craftsmen, we pass our feelings to the furniture, which brings soul and makes it unique."
