Pair of Vintage Rosewood Stools by Cantù Móveis, Brazilian Mid-Century, 1960s

About the Item

Produced by Cantù Móveis e Interiores Ltda. in the 1960s, these Stools are made of solid Rosewood, turned with rounded edges and pointy feet, giving the pieces a lightweight appearance. The seatings are made of red leather with "U" shaped cuts. Cantù Móveis e Interiores Ltda., a notable player in Brazilian modern design during the 1960s, was led by architects Jorge Jabour Mauad and Osires Cunha Meale. Their designs masterfully blended rosewood with marble, leather, and exclusive national fabrics, positioning Cantù as an industrial furniture producer that moved beyond artisanal methods while still offering customizable, modular pieces for homes and offices. With stores in Copacabana and Niterói, the company also provided interior design services to help clients create modern, functional spaces. For years, Cantù’s pieces have been mistakenly attributed to Joaquim Tenreiro, which represents a testament to their exceptional quality in material selection and craftsmanship. Despite modest machinery and low media presence compared to contemporaries like Celina Decorações, Cantù made a significant mark on Brazilian design, standing alongside figures like Sergio Rodrigues and companies such as L’atelier and M.L. Magalhães.
