rafael oliva
Rafael's first contact with woodworking came in childhood, shaped by the influence of his grandfather, an Italian carpenter from Atripalda, a small town near Avellino in Campania.
He graduated in Product Design from FAAP, with a period at the University of Plymouth, and built his experience at leading companies and studios, including Philips and Estúdio Campana.
At Instituto Campana, he was involved in teaching artisanal practices to young people from the Moinho community in São Paulo.
In 2019, he founded LABMOBILI, marking the beginning of his own creative practice.
