Ricardo Fasanello (1930-1993) stands out today as one of the most remarkable Brazilian designers. His iconic designs have been rewarded worldwide since the 1970s, and one of his furniture pieces – the Esfera lounge armchair from 1971 – is in the MOMASF collection today.

Ricardo Fasanello designed the Ciranda Stools in 1986. The piece has a carbon steel structure and a foam upholstered seat with a leather covering. The stool is in its original condition.

His short and productive career as a designer was marked by uninterrupted and frenetic production, exploring the potential of a range of materials, including steel, fiberglass, leather, and especially resin. Fasanello states, "Either the material demands a shape, or the shape indicates the material. Designers are prisoners of that relationship."
