Móveis Cimo Tables
Brazilian, 1921-1982
In its heyday, Móveis Cimo was the most prolific furniture manufacturer in Brazil. From humble beginnings, the company grew into a leading mid-century modern and modern design and production house. It made stylish and quality wood furniture like lounge chairs, coffee tables and buffets, which were made available to the average homeowner who wanted functional and attractive pieces.
Móveis Cimo was founded in 1921 by brothers Jorge and Martin Zipperer in the municipality of Rio Negrinho. Initially a chair company, Móveis Cimo quickly expanded its repertoire to include many types of furniture. At the time, there was a substantial gap in the Brazilian furniture market for quality furniture produced at an industrial scale for homes, schools, offices, cinemas and other public spaces.
Móveis Cimo filled this niche with simple but chic furniture that brought the latest styles to the masses. According to designer João Livoti, who spoke about the company to Gazeta do Povo, the brothers made frequent trips abroad to stay on top of post-war design trends. Comfort, ergonomics and the modern use of different shades of wood characterized the company’s furniture. Móveis Cimo was also the first company in Brazil to employ steam wood lamination techniques.
Jorge Zipperer died in 1944, just as the company was hitting its stride. From the 1940s to the 1960s, Móveis Cimo produced thousands of pieces of wood furniture for the Brazilian market. At the end of the 1960s, new wood fiber panel production methods shifted the furniture landscape in Brazil and introduced a host of new competitors. After Martin Zipperer died in 1971, the company began experimenting with new Dutch and French designs, although these were not widely popular.
Móveis Cimo closed its doors in 1982, but the company left behind a legacy of innovation that paved the way for future furniture makers. Today, Móveis Cimo furniture is collected worldwide as an inventive example of modern Brazilian furniture design.

Set Vintage, Midcentury Brazilian Coffee Table & End Table by Móveis Cimo, 1960s
By Moveis Cimo
Located in Lisse, NL
Rare set of vintage design, marked tables, by Móveis Cimo.
These highly stylish and sought after tables were manufactured in the 1960s by the Brazilian company Móveis Cimo, a pioneer in Brazilian furniture making. These truly stylish and timeless design tables will work in various types of interiors and they both are in good to very good condition. Designer pieces like this from the midcentury modern era are increasingly hard to find and to have found this pair or duo of tables made the experience extra special. Also, because we already know that there will be interior designers (as well as private buyers) who will immediately understand the rarity of this coffee table and end table that have always been together and they were clearly well taken care after. The combination of the wooden cone shape column-legs and the stunning, 'floating table tops' with the wonderful grain in the wood is incredibly attractive. These tables are as strong and stable as the day they were made and therefor too they are very ready for you to use and enjoy. Thanks to its striking design and truly 1960s presence this handcrafted table will never fail to impress, not you or anyone visiting.
