| Summary: | Head and hands, heart and soul: the people of different profiles unified, holding multiple and complementary skills and a variety of life trajectories that comes up in what might be called Brazilian identity. Each day more, artisans and designers work together in initiatives to revitalize artisanal in all their diversity, complexity and beauty. This meeting has generated a success outcome: high-quality products interconnected, in arguments and materials, to those communities in which they were made, improving the lives of producers and users producing a fairer and more equal development of the country. In addition, this association helps against the prejudice that assigns inferiority connotation to handmade things, and superiority to things designed by the intellect. These and many other cases, their reach, potential and risks, are the object of thought-provoking analysis by designer and journalist Adélia Borges, who inspires the reader into purchasing a product, not only for its aesthetic form and function, but also, and above all, for the affection, memories and culture impregnated in each of these handmade objects.
