Estúdio Dentro: Contemporary Furniture and Object Design Studio

Estúdio Dentro is a distinguished design practice founded by architect Marllon Morais and product designer Rodrigo Queiroz, based in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The studio's name, which translates to 'Inside,' reflects their introspective approach to the creative process, focusing on finding a unique identity and exploring the inherent potential of materials. By combining Morais’s background in visual arts and sculpture with Queiroz’s expertise in woodworking and product design, Estúdio Dentro creates objects, lighting, and furniture that are both poetically expressive and functionally precise. Their portfolio is noted for its exploration of contrasts—blending raw, brutalist materials with elements of purity and light. Key collections such as 'Beira,' which won the EDIDA Brasil 2023 Object of the Year award, and the 'Arado' series demonstrate their ability to reinterpret traditional Minas Gerais cultural motifs through a contemporary lens. Estúdio Dentro has gained significant international recognition, showcasing work at major design events including the FuoriSalone in Milan, SP-Arte, and MADE (Mercado de Arte e Design) in São Paulo. Their dedication to handcrafted quality and material experimentation ensures that each piece serves as a functional work of art designed to transform spatial experiences.
