About

This section is reserved for the treasures hidden among the icons of Brazilian design, still waiting to be known by the public. 

Following the market flow, the iconic designs of Joaquim Tenreiro, Carlo Hauner, Martin Eisler, and Sergio Rodrigues inspired many other craftsmen and small manufacturers with their vanguard production concerning Brazilian materiality (cane and leather) and the "modern values" of the form itself.

Side-by-side the renowned furniture designs, this whole universe of high-quality pieces has been co-existing, but with no proper attribution – sometimes even suffocated by the fierce market and commercial interests. We consider it an essential chapter in Brazilian design history that says a lot about aesthetic and taste constructions and the different forms of assimilation and dissemination through time.
