SpeakerFibra is a sustainable design studio comprising four university peers: Bernardo Ferracioli, Pedro Themoteo, Bruno Temer and Thiago Maia. Together they started out in 2005 at the Business Incubation Unit of the Rio de Janeiro State University Superior School of Industrial Design.
Fibra believes design is an ongoing process, one which should facilitate the implementation of a sustainable economy, integrating local communities and cultural traditions. In the past two years Fibra has clocked up a string of accolades including: A Brazilian International Design Excellence Award for its Chico children’s bicycle; a contract with a Brazilian aircraft manufacturer; and a federal grant to build a sustainable material library for public access that will provide information for students and professionals.
