Pepê Lima is a designer graduated by Centro Universitário Belas Artes in São Paulo and has worked in the furniture trade for 15 years. He was a finalist at the Daum France Crystal competition, a winner at the CSN & IPT Ecodesign competition, took part in the development of a Toshiba mini-system. He specialized himself at Politecnico de Milano in Milan, where he worked with the Studio Incontri developing objects for very important brands such as Alessi and Samsung, he returned to Brazil three years ago, where he started to contribute as a resident designer of Mac Móveis. While he was in Europe, Pepê learned that the paradigms exist, but can be broken. He assimilated other forms to create that demonstrated themselves as a differential for his job and led him to a more refined project style. Nowadays his worries include the comfort, esthetics, ergonomics, history, aggregated price, usefulness, practicality and price of the pieces he design. In 2015 he decided to open his own studio with the headquater in Curutiba-PR, that will allow him to create pieces with his most pure and evident DNA and will enable the creation of new interesting partnerships in the design field. In 2022 he won the gold trophy at the A'Design Award with the Fly Armchair.

Fly Armchair by Pepê Lima Fly is an armchair designed for indoor spaces. The design is based on studies of deconstructivist composition, so the parts appear separated, as if exploded, while forming a harmonious whole. Rounded edges between the surfaces soften the visual discontinuity. A solid wooden structure inside supports the seat and the backrest and carries the other elements. The structure is covered with foam and fabric, and the parts and the feet are screwed in hidden positions. Two pointed elements under the armrests add strength to the arms and the feet. Fly measures 91 x 73 x 80 cm.

Hector Armchair by Pepê Lima Hector is an armchair designed for indoor living spaces. The armchair combines cast aluminium, plywood, leather and solid wood in one piece. Slim solid wood arms appear to float around the upholstery, because the metal supports are hidden beneath the seat or covered with leather. Brass buttons look like upholstery details, yet they also help to hold the structure. Two delicate cast aluminium ornaments mark the back and set the position of the backrest. An internal solid wood frame, covered with foam and fabric, gives firm support. Varied textures allow customisation.
