Overview
About
Celina Decorações, a Rio de Janeiro-based company active from the 1950s to the 1980s, played a pivotal role in Brazilian modernist furniture design. It was originally founded as a small upholstery shop in 1938 by Celina Zilberberg, hence the company's name - a tribute made by her son, Munis Zilberberg. He transformed the small shop into a modern enterprise that emphasized quality, artisanal craftsmanship, and functionality. By the 1960s, Celina Decorações had gained national prominence by establishing a network of stores across many capitals in Brazil, with its products also available through other retailers and even launching an export line for the U.S. and Europe in the 1970s. The company successfully balanced industrial-scale production with the artisanal character of its furniture, maintaining a focus on detail and craftsmanship. Zilberberg also contributed to “A Cigarra” magazine during this time, offering interior design advice and promoting the innovative work of Celina Decorações, which became a hallmark of Brazilian modern furniture design. -
