Brazilian Side Tables

BRAZILIAN FURNITURE

More often than not, vintage mid-century Brazilian furniture designs, with their gleaming wood, soft leathers and inviting shapes, share a sensuous, unique quality that distinguishes them from the more rectilinear output of American and Scandinavian makers of the same era.

Commencing in the 1940s and '50s, a group of architects and designers transformed the local cultural landscape in Brazil, merging the modernist vernacular popular in Europe and the United States with the South American country's traditional techniques and indigenous materials.

Key mid-century influencers on Brazilian furniture design include natives Oscar NiemeyerSergio Rodrigues and José Zanine Caldas as well as such European immigrants as Joaquim TenreiroJean Gillon and Jorge Zalszupin. These creators frequently collaborated; for instance, Niemeyer, an internationally acclaimed architect, commissioned many of them to furnish his residential and institutional buildings.

The popularity of Brazilian modern furniture has made household names of these designers and other greats. Their particular brand of modernism is characterized by an émigré point of view (some were Lithuanian, German, Polish, Ukrainian, Portuguese, and Italian), a preference for highly figured indigenous Brazilian woods, a reverence for nature as an inspiration and an atelier or small-production mentality.

Hallmarks of Brazilian mid-century design include smooth, sculptural forms and the use of native woods like rosewoodjacaranda and pequi. The work of designers today exhibits many of the same qualities, though with a marked interest in exploring new materials (witness the Campana Brothers' stuffed-animal chairs) and an emphasis on looking inward rather than to other countries for inspiration.

Pair of Vintage Mocho Stools by Sergio Rodrigues, Brazilian Mid-Century, 1954
By Sergio Rodrigues
Located in New York, NY
The Mocho stool is one of the most iconic pieces designed by Sergio Rodrigues in 1954, before founding the Oca store. This pair is made of gorgeous solid Rosewood in very good vintage condition. As a free interpretation of a typical rural artifact, the cow-milking stool, the Mocho stool synthesizes both functions' simplicity: a piece that could be used as a seat and also support. The inspiration came from the circle, triangle, and trapezoid geometric forms and translated informality through its design resources. Mocho is a low piece on which the user has to crouch to sit, aided by a handle that allows it to be moved anywhere. Rodrigues sought a skilled lathe-operating carpenter and showed him the stool design. Right there, they produced the very first piece. It has been a success since then, arousing great interest from the public and other furniture manufacturers. In addition to being a mark in Sergio Rodrigues' history as a designer, the Mocho stool was the starting point of other furniture pieces, especially the Mole armchair and two other remarkable creations, the Arimello coffee table and the Cantù dining chair...
