About Noel Marinho

Shop This Designer

Architect Noel Marinho, born in 1927, was definitely committed to the heyday of modern Brazilian architecture, from the mid-1950s on. He has always had art and design as parallel activities, besides a special interest in integrating tiles and mosaic (striking semiotic characters of Brazilian Architecture) with the aesthetic spaces of his work.

In 2012, architect Patricia Marinho, his daughter and his partner since 1985, proposed to reinvigorate Noels muralist work and began organizing and classifying his long-time archived drawings, encouraging her father to go on with his artwork.

With the initial target of divulging, promoting and executing the tile compositions elaborated over several decades, the Noel Marinho brand was conceived in 2015, in partnership with Manuele Colas.

Noel, with his unique and unprecedent ideas, was a key player in choosing the element that identifies the Noel Marinho brand. Conceived in the 60s, it was chosen to start off the tile collections.

In addition to reissuing collections from the 60s and 70s, many elements generated in the last 10 years were incorporated to them so expanding Noels design creation. Since the beginning, art consultant Heloisa Amaral Peixoto, from HAP11, has been the art curator of Noel Marinho brand.

Although Noel is no longer with us, as he died in 2018, at 90, he actively participated in the edition of the book released in late 2019, which illustrates the work of a lifetime. His unpublished collection will allow to his art and legacy to live on.
