About the Item

A Monograph on this most important Brazilian furniture designer and maker from the mid-20th century. He opened his factory in 1943 and one of his main clients was the architect Oscar Niemeyer, for whose designs a number of original pieces were commissioned. He was well-known for making use of indigenous Brazilian hardwoods - in particular Jacaranda and Ivorywood, often mixing with leather, cane and wicker. A style well suited to the Brazilian climate. He gave up the furniture business in the late 1960s to concentrate on other interests. Hardback book with the original dust jacket, 223 pages illustrated throughout with colour photographs. Text is in English. 1520 grams.
