CASA presents the exhibition of the 10th Brazilian Object Award

From this understanding, the Museu A CASA do Objeto Brasileiro presents the exhibition of the 10º Prêmio Objeto Brasileiro, gathering 25 selected works from the five regions of the country. Opening on November 14 in São Paulo, the show celebrates a decade of recognition of the diversity of Brazilian making and proposes a careful look at the people and processes that give rise to creation.

Held since 2008, the Award received 629 applications from 24 states and the Federal District, almost double the previous edition. The debut of the New Talents category expands this participation territory, bringing together students and early‑career creators with established artisans, collectives and designers. Among the four winners are Apitos Afinadores de Distâncias, by Laura Landau, which explores the relationship between ceramics and sound; Fishau, from the Wanasseduume Ye’kwana Association, which highlights the basketry of the Ye’kwana people; Coleção Admiriti, from Guá Arquitetura with master Amazonian artisans; and Banco Varanda, by Priscilla Lira Alves, which translates the sensations of hammocks into furniture.

More than bringing languages together, the selection shows how design can arise from dialogue with traditional knowledge and the particularities of each territory. From the weaving of Roça Grande, in the Jequitinhonha Valley, to the straw of Jalapão, passing through the pruning wood turned into utensils by Fernando Rodrigues, the works reveal different ways to investigate materials, preserve techniques, and propose new uses. In this encounter, craft does not appear as a static reference or a vestige of the past, but as a living field of experimentation, capable of producing other answers to contemporary project challenges.

The exhibition invites a slower gaze, urging viewers to notice that each piece carries choices, gestures, and ways of understanding the world. In a context where design is often linked to novelty, turning attention back to these know‑how also means recognizing that innovation can involve establishing continuities, strengthening communities, and creating from a sensitive listening to territories. On view until March 14, 2027, at Museu A CASA, the show celebrates the power of a plural Brazilian making, where tradition and contemporaneity do not oppose each other: they meet, transform, and continue to create.
