Project Description
Brazil's lush jungle vines provide a design with organic and fluid forms that
capture client's attention while giving them a sense of calm.
Pavia & Cabral is a Brazilian law firm specializing in intellectual property law that is moving its practice to the 12th floor of an office building in Washington D.C. They have a reasonably small firm size with 2 equal partners who manage 4 associates, 2 admins, 1 IT specialist, 1 receptionist, and 1 paralegal. Their business is expected to grow while working in their new space so there must be room to add extra offices to accommodate future employees. Both partners want their new firm office to reflect the values of their home country and their international practice. Most of all they want clients to feel comfortable the moment they walk into the firm and remain comfortable throughout their legal case reviews with lawyers.

Research
Sergio Rodrigues 1927-2014
“The piece of furniture is not just the shape, not just the material which is made but also something inside it. It’s the piece’s spirit. It’s
the Brazilian spirit. It’s the Brazilian furniture”

Brazilian Business Culture
Family is center of social structure, multiple family members often work at the same company, some even family owned
Relationships are both personal and professional, these relationships influence deals and trust between companies
Time management tends to be much more relaxed and flexible, which reduces stress and maintains comfortable relationships
