Heitor Lobo Campos
Product Designer
Heitor is a product designer from Brasília. He has worked on a variety of projects—bikes, watches, washing machines, lights, and more—and his designs often reflect a sense of whimsy or and joy. He is a believer in beauty. “I try to make product as pretty as it is functional,” he says. “Of course, we should try to make things as functional as possible, but that's no excuse for a bland design.”

Get to know Heitor Lobo Campos
What do you believe makes you unique as a designer?
What I think differentiates my work is the multidisciplinary approach I take to everything. I was never interested in just design, I like writing, drawing and creating things, whatever “things” those may be, so design is just the convergence of everything that inspires me.
How does lighting design in particular fit into your work?
Lighting design is weirdly freeing, it doesn’t follow restrictions as harsh as other discipline or areas, so it’s very sculptural and expressive, works produced with lighting can be so varied in form and material that it becomes a playing ground for experimentation, and sometimes can kickstart entirely new ideas.
What do you want the people buying your work to think or feel?
I want them to see the products as an extension of themselves and their expression, and hopefully they’ll also feel a bit of the same feelings that inspired me during the design process.
