The Design Vlaanderen Center in Brussels dedicates until February 2012 an exhibition to trace the evolution of Brazilian Design. The exhibition is part of Europalia 2011, an European festival that will celebrate the Brazilian culture in Belgium and four other countries.
Brazilian design started to be recognised in the 1950s. Since the creation of the Graduate School of Industrial Design in Rio de Janeiro (ESDI) in 1963, the discipline has developed rapidly and there are numerous Brazilian top designers known nationally and internationally, such as Sérgio Rodrigues and the Campana brothers.
