New Grating Lines

Alfredo B. de Oliveira

Passionate about visual arts, he abandoned his career in the financial area to become a textile designer. He was the creative director at Punto e Filo from the launch of the brand in 2001 until his death in 2017, Alfredo created a universe that was rich in shapes, colors and textures, starting on paper with brushstrokes of gouache, where he unleashed the exuberant geometric and floral patterns that defined his career. Most of the models in our portfolio were created by him.
