Combining the design of wooden furniture with an environmental concern is one of the main characteristics of Julia Krantz's work. An arquitecture graduate from the University of São Paulo 's Faculty of Arquitecture and Urbanism, her line of work exposes the organic power of the wood with a mindful craftsmanship that makes this raw material dialogue with its original condition, through forms that reveal something beyond simple everyday use. In her work, ecology plays a fundamental role. The designer is an associate of the Certified Forestry Products Buyers Group and has a Forest Stewardship Council – FSC seal of certification. She has a commitment to only using materials obtained through sustainable management and refusing to employ endangered species. Dissemination and valorization of little known rainforest species and struggling against environmental degradation combines with an artistic utilization of this raw material so endowed with resources. Carefulness and fascination with nature are clearly apparent in her products as well as the rich variety of designs, forms and colors that the rainforest offers to the hands of the creative artist.
