Three Legged Chair<\/em> by Joaquim Tenreiro<\/strong>
\nJoaquim Tenreiro (1906-1992) is the pioneer of modernist Brazilian furniture making. A forerunner in the use of rediscovered raw materials as well as the creator of a new formal language in 20thcentury Brazilian furniture design.<\/p>\n

\"Brazilian<\/a>
\n\u201cThree legged chair\u201d exists in five different types of hardwood, bonded laminated frame with solid lathed joints and legs.<\/p>\n

\"Furniture_<\/a>
\nThis set of upholstered vanity stools with turned Brazilian hardwood legs was designed by Tenreiro in 1954 for a private residence.<\/p>\n

801<\/em> by Jorge Zalszupin<\/strong>
\nMinimal, comfortable and elegant, Jorge Zalszupin designed the \u201c801\u201d sofa in the early 1960\u2019s for his seminal Brazilian midcentury design firm L\u2019Atelier. Out of production ever since, the \u201c801\u201d sofa\u2019s delicate, tapered wooden feet, straightforward frame and slight angled arms have been rediscovered and reissued as a long-lost Brazilian midcentury treasure. Part of the Etel collection.<\/p>\n

\"Furniture_<\/a>
\nAbout Jorge Zalszupin: the Polish born Jorge Zalszupin moved to Brazil after World War II, where he found an opportunity to develop his extremely sensual, modern architecture. A desire to rebuild a new post-war world and a wave of development in Brazil proved an ideal time for this creative atmosphere to flourish.
\nThe pieces he designed during this time utilized the luxury of leather and combined it with classical Brazilian rosewood.<\/p>\n

Mocho Stool<\/em> by Sergio Rodrigues
\n<\/strong>
\n\"Brazilian<\/a>
\nSergio Rodrigues is this enlightened figure with a remarkable personality that had the ability to transform his concerns into a coherent and revealing work of the Brazilian culture. Sergio is, without a doubt, one of the most admirable design expressions in Brazil.<\/p>\n

\"Brazilian<\/a>
\nThe very first piece of furniture designed by master Sergio Rodrigues, the \u201cMocho\u201d stool takes aesthetic and functional cues from a traditional cow-milking stool and features a seat and legs sculpted out of solid Beech wood, shaped in Rodrigues\u2019 signature bulbous forms. A playful, simple, yet remarkably elegant piece, the \u201cMocho\u201d complements any interior.<\/p>\n
