Dining Table in Hardwood, by Novo Rumo, Brazilian Mid-Century Modern

About the Item

This dining table is a fine example of mid-20th century Brazilian furniture, manufactured by Novo Rumo. Novo Rumo was known for its modernist approach to design, often utilizing native Brazilian woods and materials to create pieces that were both functional and aesthetically pleasing. This particular table showcases the warmth and rich grain of Brazilian hardwood, which was commonly used during that period. The tabletop has a smooth, rectangular surface with rounded edges, reflecting a simple yet sophisticated design. The wood's natural grain is beautifully highlighted by the finish, giving it a luxurious sheen. The legs of the table are thick, cylindrical, and slightly tapered, providing a solid foundation. They are connected by a stretcher, which not only reinforces the structure but also adds a stylistic element. The feet of the table are distinctive, each leg resting on a separate, slightly raised platform, giving the table a floating appearance. The combination of strong geometric lines and the use of high-quality materials is indicative of the era's design ethos, which favored clean, modern lines and an emphasis on both form and function. This table was designed with an eye towards both durability and beauty, as well as comfort for diners. Overall, this dining table by Novo Rumo is a classic representation of Brazilian modernist design, combining elegant simplicity with the rich, natural beauty of the country's native hardwoods. It reflects the broader trends in Brazilian furniture design of the mid-20th century, which has since become highly collectible for its unique blend of modernist principles with local materials and craftsmanship. About the manufacturer: Novo Rumo was a prominent furniture manufacturing company that came to prominence during the golden age of Brazilian Modernism. Established in 1955, the company played a significant role in shaping and promoting Brazilian furniture design both domestically and internationally. Novo Rumo was a collective that included designers like Geraldo de Barros and Rubem Martins, who aimed to create furniture that reflected modernist principles while also embodying Brazil's unique cultural and material heritage. The studio was known for its industrial-scale production of furniture using high-quality materials, particularly Bahia Jacaranda wood, which often featured in their most sought-after pieces. The studio's creations are noted for their meticulous craftsmanship and the use of Brazilian woods, which lends elegance and sophistication to their pieces. Novo Rumo furniture, which includes a variety of seating, tables, and storage pieces, remains highly regarded for its style and quality.
