Rodrigo Simão is a Brazilian architect and designer renowned for his integration of architecture, design, and environmental consciousness. A graduate in architecture and urbanism from FAU/UFRJ in 2000, Simão views his design work as a natural extension of his architectural practice. His approach emphasizes sustainability, often repurposing high-quality waste materials from construction projects into functional and artistic furniture pieces, aligning with the "cradle to cradle" philosophy. Notable among his creations is the "Feijão" rocking chair, crafted from reclaimed wood, exemplifying his commitment to zero-waste production and the fusion of industrial technology with artisanal tradition.
