About the Item

The side table with an integrated floor lamp, a masterful creation by John Graz, stands as a quintessential example of mid-20th century Brazilian furniture design. This piece not only showcases the innovative use of local materials but also epitomizes the fusion of modernist design principles with traditional Brazilian craftsmanship. John Graz, a pivotal figure in Brazilian modernist design, introduced the Art Deco style to Brazil, significantly influencing the country's design aesthetic. Graz's work, including this side table and floor lamp, is renowned for its harmonious blend of form and function, a hallmark of his design philosophy. This piece, in particular, reflects this approach, ingeniously combining practical lighting with a functional furniture item. The choice of materials - metal and wood - is emblematic of the period. The polished metal, used for its modern appeal and durability, juxtaposes with the wood, which adds warmth and a tactile, organic quality to the design. The design of this piece is a testament to Graz's adeptness in Art Deco styling, characterized by clean lines, elegant minimalism, and a balanced aesthetic. The metal elements provide both structural support and a decorative flair, while the wooden components introduce a contrasting organic element, softening the industrial feel of the metal. This synthesis of materials and the functional yet stylish design underscore the influence of the international modernist movement, while also staying true to the local traditions and materials of Brazil. John Graz’s contribution to the Brazilian modernist movement was pivotal. He was instrumental in introducing Art Deco to Brazil, a style that would come to define a significant part of the country's architectural and design identity. His work reflects a deep understanding and appreciation of this style, adapted and blended with local influences to create something uniquely Brazilian. Today, this side table with an integrated floor lamp is not just a piece of furniture but a historical artifact, valued for both its aesthetic appeal and its significance in the evolution of Brazilian design. Collectors and admirers of mid-century modern design often seek out such pieces, not only for their beauty and functionality but also for their cultural and historical importance, as they represent a key moment in the development of Brazilian modernism.
