Mauricio Affonso’s design style can be described as emotional, uplifting, with a subtle touch of humor. Working in the context of contemporary design culture and deriving inspiration from everyday life and human behavior he brings forth an emotional aspect to his creations. Due to the vast nature of his inspiration, Mauricio’s work is not dominated by one style, material or area of specialization. Rather, he explores different materials and manufacturing processes to generate new means of expression and appease his quest for pushing the boundaries of experimentation and learning. Using art and design as a vehicle, he hopes to inspire, educate and provide positive experiences to those who come in contact with his work.

Mauricio currently resides in Toronto and works for home accessories design company, Umbra. Working as an in-house designer, he designs products for every room of the house. His products can be seen in stores around the world and are designed with a mass market in mind. Mauricio has designed products for Umbra, as well as designed custom products for North American retailers such as Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, Crate&Barrel and European retailers such as John Lewis.
