About the Item
The bench showcased here is a splendid example of Brazilian vernacular design from the 19th century. It is a testament to the timeless beauty of simple, functional design that transcends eras. The bench is crafted from solid wood, which has developed a rich patina over the years, embodying the warm, earthy tones that only age can bestow upon wood.
The seat of the bench is constructed with a piece of leather, stretched and affixed to the frame with a series of nails or tacks that border the perimeter, adding a rustic charm to the piece. The leather itself, now worn and bearing the marks of time, presents a distinct character that synthetic materials cannot replicate. This leatherwork is indicative of the era's reliance on natural materials and handcrafted durability.
The bench's design is characterized by its straightforward lines and sturdy construction, lacking any unnecessary ornamentation. This stark simplicity, while rooted in the pragmatism of the 19th century, inadvertently echoes the modernist design ethos of the 20th century, which emphasized function and form. The bench's silhouette, with its straight legs and backrest, conveys a sense of honest craftsmanship and utilitarian purpose.
Overall, this bench is not only a functional piece of furniture but also a slice of Brazilian history. Its design and materials speak of a bygone era, while its unpretentious elegance and the patina of age make it a coveted piece for collectors and admirers of antique furniture and design.

Balanço Bench by Rodrigo Ohtake, Brazilian Contemporary Design
By Rodrigo Ohtake
Located in Sao Paulo, SP
The Balanço Bench was created by the Brazilian contemporary designer Rodrigo Ohtake, in 2019.
The mix of materials is the differential in this series. While wood is used as a seat, a metal plate, thick and curved, raises the first material from the ground in a light way and with minimal contact, both with the floor and with the wood.
The structure is made of stainless steel and Cumaru Wood. Definitely a one of a kind and unique piece.
Graduated at FAU / USP in 2009, with a period of studies at the Polytechnic of Milan, Rodrigo Ohtake is always in search of his own architectural style. Passionate about colors and free forms, he collaborated with architects Mario Biselli, Alvaro Puntoni, and Frenchman Patrick Jouin, in addition to working with his father, Ruy, from 2008 to 2016.
In addition to working in the offices, he participated as a curatorial assistant in the exhibitions "Viver na Floresta", curated by Abílio Guerra, "O Coração da Cidade: Invention of Spaces" by Júlio Katinsky...
