Brazilian Dining Room Sets

BRAZILIAN FURNITURE

More often than not, vintage mid-century Brazilian furniture designs, with their gleaming wood, soft leathers and inviting shapes, share a sensuous, unique quality that distinguishes them from the more rectilinear output of American and Scandinavian makers of the same era.

Commencing in the 1940s and '50s, a group of architects and designers transformed the local cultural landscape in Brazil, merging the modernist vernacular popular in Europe and the United States with the South American country's traditional techniques and indigenous materials.

Key mid-century influencers on Brazilian furniture design include natives Oscar NiemeyerSergio Rodrigues and José Zanine Caldas as well as such European immigrants as Joaquim TenreiroJean Gillon and Jorge Zalszupin. These creators frequently collaborated; for instance, Niemeyer, an internationally acclaimed architect, commissioned many of them to furnish his residential and institutional buildings.

The popularity of Brazilian modern furniture has made household names of these designers and other greats. Their particular brand of modernism is characterized by an émigré point of view (some were Lithuanian, German, Polish, Ukrainian, Portuguese, and Italian), a preference for highly figured indigenous Brazilian woods, a reverence for nature as an inspiration and an atelier or small-production mentality.

Hallmarks of Brazilian mid-century design include smooth, sculptural forms and the use of native woods like rosewoodjacaranda and pequi. The work of designers today exhibits many of the same qualities, though with a marked interest in exploring new materials (witness the Campana Brothers' stuffed-animal chairs) and an emphasis on looking inward rather than to other countries for inspiration.

Jorge Zalszupin 'Guaruja' Rosewood Vintage Dining Table, 1960s, Brazil
By Jorge Zalszupin
Located in New York, NY
The iconic Guarujá is a table designed by Jorge Zalszupin (1922-2020) in 1959 and produced by his company, L'atelier. A rosewood patchwork top rests over one concrete base finished with leather. This patchwork solution is present in other pieces designed by Zalszupin. Modern design taught us about using the material rationally, having the design as a tool to avoid waste. Aesthetically, the patchwork explores the different tones of the Brazilian rosewood beautifully, achieving a unique result. At the time, the Guanabara table was presented as a dynamic piece that could be used in the corporate spaces (as a meeting...

Sergio Rodrigues Jacaranda & Granite Dining Table with Ten Dining Chairs, 1960s
By Bernardo Figueiredo, Sergio Rodrigues
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This monumental and important 1960s Jacaranda Rosewood dining set by Sergio Rodrigues in collaboration with architect Bernardo Figuiredo includes a granite topped trestle base dining table and ten (10) caned dining chairs. For the ultimate in sophistication and refinement, while retaining a casual laid-back vibe - this important dining set is for the true connoisseur looking for a statement piece that wows and encapsulates without being over the top or expected. Not only is this visually stunning - design that encapsulates the soul of 1960s Rio de Janeiro, and with precious Jacaranda Rosewood - a now endangered species which this has so much of, it is also an important set - created with famed architect Bernardo Figuiredo for an important custom installation in a mid-century modern Rio de Janeiro home. Bernardo often collaborated with Sergio and his company OCA on projects and this one is quite special, the entire dining suite was designed and created together paired with the vision of the house in which it was created for; which we happen to also have the matching credenza available in another listing should you wish to complete the entire suite. This dining table features the original huge dark granite slab - the photos don't do it justice as there was glare coming from the photography lights. In normal room lighting it is a gorgeous dark black speckled granite top with some deep brown and silver grey flecks. The solid Jacaranda trestle base has so much exotic Brazilian Rosewood, it is an impressive site especially with its monumental size. Paired with ten (10) dining chairs in highly exotic grained Brazilian Rosewood with caned seats and seat-backs. Of the ten chairs, one is an armchair with Rosewood sculpted arms. The legs and backs are sculpted with quintessential Brazilian Modern form and true to Sergio's style. Some of the Rosewood grain is so striking and contrasting, it really stands out and increases the exotic factor on the entire set. This is an ideal set for collectors, interior designers and investors of fine art and design. It is extremely rare, and is also completely unique, for those seeking a dining set that no one else has, this is exactly that, so the time to act is now before its gone. *Note, we have another pair of matching side chairs, available to be purchased with the set. In addition, shown in the photos is the matching granite topped sideboard...
