BUILDING, a Brazilian publisher founded in 1952 and closed in 2000, where Tenreiro furnished the interior.
The desk is composed of a rectangular box with three aligned drawers, all covered with the stunning tones of Brazilian Rosewood.
Tenreiro's works are proof of the cohabitation between the handcrafted and the Modern aesthetics in Brazilian furniture production. This piece is an example of the reductiveness of forms, in this case, achieved by using rectangular shapes and straight lines.
The simple design allows the wood veins to stand out, showing the natural beauty of the material itself. -
