The company specialized in creating elegant and functional pieces that reflected the modernist aesthetics of the time.

The use of high-quality materials like imbuia wood veneer was common, adding to the durability and visual appeal of the pieces The designs of Móveis Bertomeu were influenced by prominent Brazilian designers of the time, such as Jorge Zalszupin. This influence is evident in the clean lines, functional forms, and the integration of Brazilian design elements into their furniture. Today, Móveis Bertomeu’s pieces are considered rare and are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of mid-century modern furniture. Their designs are featured in various galleries and auctions, highlighting their enduring appeal and significance in Brazilian design history.
