About the Item

Hidden among Brazil's modern furniture heritage are pieces whose origins remain a mystery. These designs, beautifully crafted and steeped in the aesthetics of their time, are yet to be linked to a specific company or designer. Despite the lack of attribution, their quality and uniqueness speak volumes about the creative talent of the period. One of the most important aspects of these unknown artists pieces is their history of misattribution. Acquired by Bossa with the goal of uncovering their true origins, these pieces are the subject of ongoing research to correct their attribution. Through careful study and the search for material evidence that might provide clues, we hope to link these designs to their rightful creators as we have before. The absence of documentation challenges us to uncover their stories, as these anonymous designs too deserve recognition alongside well-known creations of Brazilian modernism. At Bossa, every piece is a clue, every detail a step closer to completing the puzzle.

Pair of Rosewood Armchairs by Celina Decorações, Brazilian Mid Century, 1960s
By Celina Decoracoes
Located in New York, NY
This gorgeous pair of lounge chairs made of Brazilian Rosewood was produced in the 1960s by the company Celina Decorações, which signed one of the most modern lines of Brazilian furniture at the period.
