The notion of experimentation and originality is central to his practice.
Lucas Recchia is a Brazilian designer whose practice moves between sculpture and furniture, guided by a deep investigation of materials. His work is defined by experimentation with glass, bronze, and stone, exploring techniques such as fusing and hot shaping in ways rarely seen in design. Through these processes, he creates surfaces that reveal transparency, color, texture, and controlled imperfections—characteristics that have become his signature.
His collections, including Material Distortion, Eche, Janelas, and Mosai, reflect a search for new formal and technical possibilities. Recchia combines Brazilian natural stone, metals, and fused glass into compositions that challenge the boundaries between functionality and sculpture, resulting in works that balance technical rigor with poetic intensity.
The first Brazilian to be represented by Rossana Orlandi in Milan, Recchia was included in Forbes 30 Under 30 for Architecture & Design. His work has entered the collections of brands such as Off-White, Louis Vuitton, and Dior, and has been commissioned by architects and designers including Kelly Wearstler, Sig Bergamin, and Marcio Kogan. He is currently represented by galleries in New York, Paris, Dubai, and Melbourne, and his pieces are held in private collections worldwide.
“Lucas’s work has this incredible balance between raw and refined that i’m always drawn to in design. What makes him stand out is how authentic his vision is. He’s not chasing trends, his pieces have their own language.”
— KELLY WEARSTLER
“Lucas possesses a remarkable talent for working with materials in a way that is both sophisticated and refined. he goes beyond their physical properties, exploring their potential to shape both beauty and function. His work is subtle yet striking, with a highly distinctive style where organic and geometric forms harmonize effortlessly, reflecting the balance between his craftsmanship and artistic vision.”
— ROSSANA ORLANDI
"There is something visceral and, at the same time, ethereal in his work: as if he translated the gesture, movement and natural sensuality of our culture into matter and volume. His work speaks of Brazil without needing to say so explicitly. He constructs a visual language that is born here, but that projects itself to the world naturally, effortlessly, with a silent sophistication that inserts it into a contemporary global dialogue.”
