Carlos Millan for Branco & Preto "M3" Midcentury brazilian Sofa, 1952

About the Item

Carlos Millan for Branco & Preto "M3" Midcentury brazilian Sofa, 1952 Founded in São Paulo, a mixture of shop and studio considered by many to be one of the first design shops in the country, Branco & Preto was created by 6 architects who were among the largest and most celebrated architects of the time. Thus, the furniture created by them, in the beginning, was, in the words of Miguel Forte, "connected with the intentions and needs of the architect." The brand invested in sober, well defined and light lines and, especially, in the innovative material for the time: laminated wood, welded iron and plastic. The upholstery fabric was especially important. As the store never had industrial production, always betting on the handcrafted execution, the pieces are now considered rare and quite valuable. The most famous are the MF5 armchair, designed by Millan and Forte; the armchair R3, designed by Ruchti; and the sofa M3, designed by Millan, all of the 1950s.
