Mid-Century 1966 Vintage Joaquim Tenreiro Writing Desk
About the Item
This desk was designed by Joaquim Tenreiro for the Bloch Editores headquarters in Rio de Janeiro. In the mid-1960s, Tenreiro and Sergio Rodrigues were chosen to oversee the furnishings of the new building, designed by Oscar Niemeyer. Tenreiro and Niemeyer had first worked together in 1942 and maintained a close relationship afterward, collaborating on various projects. Partnerships with influential architects propelled Tenreiro’s career forward and allowed him to experiment with modern furniture in conversation with new, future-facing spaces. This desk features a green reverse-painted glass top and three drawers in a sleek and light design that has both an industrial and a traditional feel. Much like the Triangular tables designed for this project, this piece demonstrates Tenreiro’s engagement in modernity, as well as his interest in traditional materials.
