Brazilian Furniture
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 Niemeyer, Sergio Rodrigues and José Zanine Caldas as well as such European immigrants as Joaquim Tenreiro, Jean 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 rosewood, jacaranda 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.

Giuseppe Scapinelli Extendable Dining Table for Angelini & Delneri, Brazil 1950s
By Giuseppe Scapinelli
Located in Utrecht, NL
Giuseppe Scapinelli was known as a designer who successfully combined “the classic” with “the modern”, and this table stands as evidence. Scapinelli was a Brazilian designer from São Paulo who did not use any means of mass production. His furniture alternated and combined elements from Italian classicism, innovative aerodynamic lines, and biomorphic shapes.
This rare circular table has an amazing construction that praises the firm, Angelini & Delneri. Upon first sight, this model is an elegant circular table made of beautifully grained wood. However, when the table is extended, the elaborate system is revealed by which the extra wooden leaves can be added to extend the length. The artisanal level craftsmanship is as stunning as the design itself, with traditional joinery techniques such as pegs and so-called ‘biscuit’ joints. Besides the extension system, the craftsmanship is also evident in every edge and angle, such as the legs’ curve and the ring strengthening them. This table is very successful at balancing large volumes with clean lines. The legs have rounded edges and are slightly splayed below the wooden ring.
This memorable design is from a designer committed to pushing the boundaries of modernist design in Brazil. The form is functional and elegant with subtle flourishes like intricate wooden details and the evident emphasis on functionality. This dining table is a grand piece that will stand out and add character to any interior.
Condition:
In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use.
Dimensions:
47.24 in Ø x 28.34 in H
120 cm Ø x 72 cm H
About the designer:
Giuseppe Scapinelli was born in Reggio Emilia in Italy on the 2nd of July 1911 and was the 6th of thirteen sons. He graduated after studying architecture in 1941. However, just as his career was starting, it was abruptly interrupted by WW2, and he was forced to live in seclusion in an antique furniture shop...

Design Brésilien, Plateau Avec Carrelage, C. 1960
Located in PARIS, FR
Le plateau en bois et carrelage brésilien des années 1960 est une pièce unique qui allie à la fois la robustesse et la beauté de deux matériaux naturels. Le bois utilisé pour le plateau est un bois brésilien, avec une texture fine et une couleur chaude et naturelle qui rappelle les forêts brésiliennes. Le carrelage brésilien utilisé pour la partie centrale du plateau est quant à lui orné d'un motif géométrique abstrait aux couleurs vives et contrastées, témoignant de l'art populaire brésilien.
Le plateau en lui-même est de forme rectangulaire avec des coins arrondis, ce qui lui confère une élégance subtile. Les bords du plateau en bois sont finement travaillés, avec une légère courbe qui ajoute une touche de finesse à l'ensemble.
Lorsqu'on observe le plateau de plus près, on peut apprécier le soin apporté aux détails. Les joints entre le bois et le carrelage sont parfaitement ajustés, créant une transition harmonieuse entre les deux matériaux. La surface du carrelage est lisse et uniforme, avec une finition brillante qui reflète la lumière d'une manière captivante.
En somme, le plateau en bois et carrelage brésilien des années 1960 est une pièce d'artisanat exceptionnelle qui incarne parfaitement la beauté et l'authenticité des matériaux naturels brésiliens, ainsi que le talent et la créativité de l'atelier qui l'a créé.

Mid-Century Modern Chess Table of Wood with Stunning Tree Knots Pattern & Light
Located in Lisse, NL
Rare design and great looking, handcrafted wooden chess table with unique natural patterns and colors.
This midcentury era chess table (with built-in lamp in the base) has some of the most beautiful, natural colors ever. We don't know what type of Brasilian nutwood this table is made of, but this shape and these great colors will combine beautifully with all kinds of styles and materials. The design, the warm colors and especially the wonderful tree knot pattern in this all-handcrafted table are an absolute joy to look at. And with the light switched on, only the cores of the tree knots turn into a beautiful, deep red and almost purple color. We tried to shoot some photos with the light in the base of this table switched on, but the result is not at all what it looks like in real life (so much better looking than in our photos). We have sold a few table lamps of this 'knotted wood', but we have never seen a chess table of this amazing material. Apart from a few minor imperfections this very stylish chess...

Located in Lisse, NL
Rare and beautiful shape, wooden table lamp with all natural colors.
This midcentury era, mushroom shape table lamp has some of the most beautiful, natural colors you will ever see. We don't know what type of wood this lamp is made of, but this shape and these great colors will combine beautifully with all kinds of styles and materials. The design, the warm natural colors and the wonderful tree knot pattern in both the shade and the base are an absolute joy to look at. And with the light switched on, the cores of the tree knots turn into a beautiful, deep red and almost purple color. A little bit like the eyes of nocturnal animals...

Pair of MP-51 Armchairs by Percival Lafer, Brazilian Mid-Century
By Percival Lafer
Located in Whitstable, GB
A rare model of armchair by Percival Lafer, our stunning pair of MP-51 have their structure entirely made out of solid Jatobá wood - Brazilian cherry.
The seat base has been redone with new natural leather straps. These straps are part of the overall aesthetics of the piece.
The wood on both chairs has been sanded and matt varnished, revealing the beautiful colour and grain of Jatobá. The wood surfaces look stunning.
The chairs have a new brown natural leather upholstery, done in Brazil.
These MP51 are very comfortable, and ours are in excellent condition.
We have two chairs available.
A common trait amongst Lafer pieces is that they are very comfortable and also unique: they have a hard-achieved simplicity about them.
Lafer studied architecture at São Paulo’s Universidade Mackenzie. After he graduated, his father passed away suddenly, leaving a furniture business that Lafer took over with his brothers.
Lafer then made the jump from architecture to furniture design in 1961, putting a focus on thoughtfully designed pieces available at affordable prices. In the same year he introduced the amazing MP-1 chair, a plush piece of furniture made with iron and wood- and since then has had a prolific career.
The silhouettes of his lounge chairs, armchairs and other seating were were a step away from the streamlined American and European mid-century modernism being designed at the time, taking on casual, puffed forms thanks to the use of polyurethane layers as padding. He combined such contemporary industrial materials with local natural ones, namely Brazilian hardwoods, which delighted customers around the world as Lafer became one of the country’s leading exporters of furniture.
Lafer has continued to design furniture throughout his career, branching into sofas, tables and lighting. He was at the forefront of mechanical furniture movements, debuting the MP-7 sofa...
