Henrique Reinach e Mauricio Mendonça criaram a Reinach Mendonça Arquitetos Associados em 1987. A arquitetura desenvolvida por Henrique e Mauricio sempre se pautou pelo respeito à forma, à luz e ao conforto. Um controle adequado aos cheios e vazios, resulta no bom aproveitamento da luz do sol, bem como no correto controle de temperatura. Com uma linguagem contemporânea é dada sempre grande atenção às circulações e aberturas externas, criando espaços agradáveis de ver, estar e caminhar. Durante os primeiros 15 anos o escritório administrou e construiu muitas de suas próprias obras, conseguindo desta forma obter um domínio concreto sobre o canteiro de obras e custos de construção. Paralelamente sempre desenvolveu o desenho de mobiliários fixos e soltos que complementam sua arquitetura. Em 1993 receberam o primeiro prêmio na categoria jovens arquitetos pelo IAB/SP e no mesmo ano foram destaque na Segunda Bienal Internacional de Arquitetura de São Paulo e Bienal Internacional de Quito. Nos anos de 1996, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006 e 2008 receberam prêmios e menções honrosas pela AsBEA (Associação Brasileira dos Escritórios de Arquitetura) e IAB-SP (Instituto de Arquitetos do Brasil) por suas obras construídas. Em 1999 participaram da exposição Brazil Still Builds da Architectural Association, Londres. Em 2005 e 2009 proferiram palestra na Bienal de Buenos Aires, tendo recebido ainda em 2006 o 1° prêmio da Bienal de Arquitetura de Brasília. Obras do escritório vêm sendo publicadas em inúmeras revistas nacionais, sendo que publicações internacionais tais como Abitare-Italia, Escala-Colombia, Architectural Digest-Italy e Nox-Espanha destacam estas mesmas obras no exterior. Foram capa dos livros “Private Rio” da Editora Rizzoli, NY e “Casas de vidro” da Editora Monsa, Espanha. Projeto premiado em 1999 foi ainda publicado no AWA – Award Winning Architecture Internacional Yearbook. Em 2008 a publicação “1000x Architecture of the Americas” da Editora Braun, Alemanha, destacou 3 dos projetos do escritório entre os 1000 projetos recentes mais significativos das Américas. Desde 2001 o escritório possui sede própria em projeto premiado pelo IAB/SP em 2002, tendo sido escolhido em 2003 o “ESCRITÓRIO DO ANO – destaque nacional” pela premiação anual da AsBEA.

everyday objects have funWith TOMA, design takes leave of luxury and takes hold of daily living with a dash of humor and a hint of cunning: milk glasses for little drinkers, beer glasses for big thirsts, impish wineglasses, soft vases to keep your flowers blooming longer, psychedelic placemats, notepads for your scribbles and doodles, clocks that defy time… With pure lines to please the eye and messages conceived to engage the mind, each creation finds its natural place in the daily ritual of our existence. All TOMA objects display the “made in Montreal” label and adhere to the green philosophy, using only recycled or recyclable materials. Creator, designer and artistic director Anne Thomas founded Thomas design+communication in 1990 as a studio combining graphic arts and consulting services in order to produce visual solutions for businesses (branding, advertising and promotion). It was a short step from communication by object to communicating object, and Anne launched the TOMA OBJECTS collection in 2006. A number of designers have contributed to the collection, including Vill Mak, Laurent Pinabel, Rémi Côté, Monica Gautier and Jean-François Poliquin.
