After a recent visit to São Paulo, we reckon the Brazil’s lighting brands might just be its best-kept design secret.
WORDS & PHOTOS Gina Dionisio
Brazil may be acclaimed for its tiles, textiles, and furniture, but the Haus Decor Show – held in conjunction with Expo Revestir – showcased equally impressive lighting by local designers.
Hosted at the São Paulo Expo Pavilion, the decor trade show was reminiscent of Decorex here in South Africa, highlighting the latest trends in paints, coatings, lighting, refrigeration, and home automation.
The dedicated lighting zone was a show highlight. Curated by LEDforum & L+D, it featured over 35 lighting specialists. Here are some of our favourites:
Attimo Iluminação
Founded in 2018 in Caxias do Sul by three friends with a passion for wood and design, Attimo Iluminação is known for creating wood-accented lighting systems that add visual texture. There was a variety of lighting options on display at the brand’s stand, including the Abajur Pérola – a table lamp made from imbuia wood – and Carimbó – a collection of lanterns. | attimoiluminacao
Geo Luz & Cerâmica
For 25 years, Geo Luz & Cerâmica has handcrafted sophisticated ceramic lighting fixtures. Guided by the vision of designer and ceramist Maurício D’Avila, the artisanal brand is sustainably minded and focused on creating pieces that combine traditional practices with contemporary style. At this year’s decor showcase, the brand presented a mini-retrospective of its work and introduced two new collections: Primitivo and MONO. | geoceramica.com.br
Gileno Design
Gileno Design specialises in high-end artisanal crystal lighting that blends Italian-inspired aesthetics with Brazilian craftsmanship. At the Haus Decor Show, the brand showcased its new 2025 lighting collection, featuring pieces that emphasise its focus on materiality, texture, and personalisation. With over 50 colour and finish options – including 24‑carat gold accents – each lighting installation can be uniquely tailored to suit any space. | gilenodesign.com
