Born in Brazil in 1966, of Japanese and European descent, Ingrid de Rio Campo started drawing very early. She studied natural sciences at first before becoming an architect and urban planner. She settled in Paris in 1991.
Captivated by design and crafts, de Rio Campo evolved from architecture to a more intimate and tactile scale: furniture, ceramics, drawings, and jewelry. She also has an interior design practice in Paris. In 2015 de Rio Campo designed a pendant made with a Danish amber gem from Ribe, Jutland. She then continued designing and making unique pieces and prototypes of jewelry. Her ecological consciousness led her to develop an eco-responsible wood and textile collection in 2021, using upcycled materials from the surpluses of the Parisian luxury and construction industry.
