About Branco e Preto:
In the Provincial of São Paulo of the 1950s, a group of architects consisting of Roberta Aflalo, Jacob Ruchti, Miguel Forte, Plínio Croce, Carlos Millan and Chen Y Hwa, got together to create a furniture shop that could cater to their modern and sophisticated view of architecture and house their designs. After graduating with degrees in architecture at The Mackenzie School of Engineering, they needed furniture suitable for the architecture style they practiced. As a group of friends they rallied around an IDEA advanced by Roberto Aflalo to open a store that sold pieces of modern design furniture. In 1952, they founded Branco & Preto to address their need to furnish the houses commissioned to them with an innovative style. They decided upon the name ‘Branco e Preto’ (White and Black), colours that would often be featured in their fabrics made especially for the store by the Lanfício Fileppo.
The São Paulo-based shop rapidly became a reference for architects, who would visit to become familiar with the trends and discuss the pieces that broke with the traditional, stout lines that were used until then. With its high prices and focus on the elite of São Paulo, the store often catered to customers who had their homes specifically created by one of the group's architects and the furniture was often designed or adapted with a specific residence in mind. Brazilian woods were combined with glass, iron and calacatta marble. Like many Brazilian furniture brands, it never had Industrial Production and as a result everything was made by hand. Branco e Preto remained open until 1970, and during its existence, the collective created pieces of furniture that inspire Brazilian designers to this day.

- Ward Bennett Modern White 3078 I-Beam Table and Stool for Brickell, C. 1969, USABy Geiger International, Ward BennettLocated in Brooklyn, NYWard Bennett modern white 3078 I-beam occasional table for Brickel Associates, 1960s, USA. Provenance: Brickel Associates; Property from a Private New York City Collection. Measures: 15"H x 12"W x 12"D. Bennett sought to create a design style that was uniquely American, versus the popular European design styles of the 1960s and 70's. His style was called "sensual minimalism" for his blending of industrial design and aesthetic look. He is considered one of the first designers to use industrial design and the industrial aesthetic in home design. Hailed by the American Institute of Architects, Bennett is credited as an American pioneer in the use of industrial materials for home furnishings – a prime example being his early ’60s I Beam Table, which employs a section of beam for a base. Ward Bennett’s career began at age 13, when he quit school to work in New York’s Garment District. At 16 he went to Europe and continued working in fashion. Despite attending art schools in Florence and Paris, he was mostly self-taught, with skills ranging from jewelry-making to interior design. “I learn from people,” he said, referencing influences including Georgia O’Keeffe. Bennett eventually settled in New York, where his reputation earned him many high-profile clients. Lyndon Johnson later asked Bennett to design a chair for his presidential library—“a cross between a barroom chair and a courtroom chair...Category
