Transversality. No other concept better captures Fernanda Marques’ current creative moment.
Moving fluidly between architecture, design, and art — she currently serves on the South American advisory committee for the Tate Gallery — Fernanda is not interested in merely creating buildings, interiors, or objects.
Her true pursuit lies in exploring boundaries — and, more importantly, proposing new intersections.

A clear example of Fernanda Marques’ ability to weave connections across disciplines, the Synapsis line, recently developed for Solarium, navigates seamlessly through the constructivist legacy of Lygia Clark, flirts with the modernist rhythm of Athos Bulcão, and still remains faithful to the explicit functionality so eloquently expressed by one of her key design influences, the French master Pierre Paulin.

A core concept in Fernanda Marques’ design vocabulary, the possibility of customization played a central role in the development of the Synapsis line, which features three basic concrete components that can be freely combined to cover surfaces.

“I like the idea of designing objects where functionality can be explored from a broader, more expanded perspective. In this project, only three elements are at play, but the possibilities for combination are virtually endless — which makes it extremely versatile. And, in that sense, very contemporary,” she notes.
