about ciclus

Moving people through design.
Transforming ideas into unique projects packed with sensitivity.
Creating clever solutions which generate maximum sensory impact with minimal environmental impact.
This is the philosophy that inspires Tati Guimarães, the founder and creative soul of Ciclus.fundadora y alma creativa the founder and creative soul of Ciclus.

Why design from emotion?
Because it touches our soul. And when something excites, it wins in simplicity. The message is immediate and lasting. The projects of Ciclus transmit illusion and sensitivity because emotion is the basis of its creation.

Why design comply with the environment and the principles of ecodesign?
Because it is crucial that we think about the environment. It is not a trend. It is an attitude of respect towards ourselves. The ecodesign projects not only utilise more efficient processes and use fewer materials but also makes production profitable. At Ciclus, the choice of materials, always based on sustainable criteria, are adjusted to the functionality, durability and aesthetics of the project. Given this, your projects have a longer lifespan. When created exclusively for a company, they also serve to remind users of your brand through an original design.

how we design

We are passionate about creating. In all of our designs, we follow our in-house methodology which is the fruit of 20 years of experience. We understand that, like all natural processes, a successful project requires time to generate a healthy seed which germinates into a powerful concept, matures through experimentation and ends up bearing beautiful fruit. This is how we understand design and how we visualise our ideas.
