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.

Armchair with Wood, Leather and Steel, by Carlo Fongaro, Brazilian Mid-Century
By Carlo Fongaro
Located in Sao Paulo, SP
This armchair designed by Carlo Fongaro is an exemplary piece of mid-20th-century Brazilian furniture design. The chair combines the use of wood and leather, materials commonly used in Brazilian furniture from that era, known for their durability and aesthetic appeal. The armchair has a distinctive modernist style, featuring sleek lines and an organic form that cradles the body. The wooden frame forms the armrests and a supporting back panel that provides structural integrity and visual warmth.
The chair is upholstered in high-quality leather, giving it its rich color and texture, while the cushions are tufted, which is not only a design feature but also serves to keep the padding in place, ensuring long-term comfort and durability.
The metal legs of the chair are slender and made of steel, a choice that reflects the era's fascination with new industrial materials and techniques. The use of metal gives the chair a lightweight appearance and complements the natural materials.
Carlo Fongaro's designs are not as widely recognized internationally as some of his Brazilian contemporaries like Oscar Niemeyer or the duo of Lina Bo Bardi and Giancarlo Palanti, but his work is appreciated for its craftsmanship and design within the canon of Brazilian modernist furniture...
