by Anonymous

Miami FL September 29 2003--The America’s oldest pottery find will make its North American debut at the Brazilian Design Show in Miami on November 5-7.

The show will take place Terra do Brazil Design Center in Miami and offer an unprecedented look at Brazil’s leading ceramics, pottery, jewelry, accessory and furniture designers and artisans. Terra do Brazil created the design center to help North American buyers, importers, distributors, representative designers and wholesalers obtain access a nationwide network of more than 5,000 Brazilian manufacturers and designers and assist with import/export operations. It will also enable small and medium producers of Brazilian furniture and artifacts the ability to sell products of aggregate value in the North American market without obstacles. This will provide greatly needed economic assistance to Brazilian natives and protection of the Amazon Rain Forests.

“We believe that the show will help distributors, resellers, contractors, designers, architects and hotel and restaurant buyers see the type of quality the Brazilian manufacturers have become accustomed to,” said Robson Oliveira, president of Terra do Brazil. “Considering current economic conditions as the Euro is up considerable and Real down significantly, it makes it a good time for North America to give Brazilian manufacturers a closer look.”
