Its wide rosewood boards, alternating between solid and veneered plywood, highlight the wood's grain, making it the centerpiece of the design. The structure consists of two legs with supporting planks, a large top, and two drawers.
Founded in 1938 in Rio de Janeiro, Celina Decorações became a cornerstone of Brazilian modernist furniture design under Munis Zilberberg’s leadership. The company gained national prominence by blending industrial production with artisanal craftsmanship. Zilberberg’s innovative contributions to A Cigarra magazine elevated Celina’s influence, using the platform to offer interior design advice and showcase aspirational settings. This approach democratized modern aesthetics while cementing Celina Decorações’ role as a trailblazer in Brazilian design culture.
The desk has received wood repairs and refinishing, yet some of the wear has been preserved as a testimony of the piece's history.
