The Project Became when artists and designers focusing on the idea of a social design of relevance and great beauty.
In the paths of Jalapão, eastern region of Tocantins, there is one
of the great riches of the state, the golden grass. It is the stem of
a small white flower of the evergreen family that shines brightly
under the sun. This kind of gold-toned grass does not exist
anywhere else in the world.
Golden grass weaving techniques are passed generationally
from parents to children, and create a distinctive identity with
high added value for the Jalapa Collection's products. The
project worked to bring design and handcrafts closer together,
creating new products designed with a focus on improving the
quality of production, maintaining tradition and improving the
social condition of artisans.
