Da estampa da chita, o tecido popular com origem indiana que veste e reveste a história da formação social brasileira, o designer mato-grossense Sérgio Matos colhe as flores. Como ramalhetes, elas dão formas à linha de produtos de decoração e mobiliário com o nome do pano que está na literatura regionalista e no universo poético do folclore do País. Luminárias e mesa lateral exibem a delicadeza do floral estruturado com arame e envolvido com fios de crochê pelas mãos caprichosas das artesãs paraibanas da Comunidade Alfa, na cidade portuária de Cabedelo. As peças traduzem a relação afetiva do designer - radicado na Paraíba - pela cultura nordestina e privilegiam técnicas artesanais que as tornam únicas. No ar, o perfume da originalidade que evoca memória e tradição.
