About the Item

This exquisite side table, designed by the renowned John Graz, is a striking piece that embodies the sophistication and geometric elegance of the Art Deco movement which Graz himself was instrumental in pioneering within Brazilian design. The table demonstrates the quintessential characteristics of Art Deco, including clean lines, stylized forms, and the use of modern materials, all of which Graz masterfully incorporated into the burgeoning Brazilian aesthetic. The table’s design features a circular wooden top, rich in color and polished to a smooth finish, showcasing the beauty of the natural material. This choice of wood brings a warmth and organic element that contrasts with the sleek, cool touch of the metal. The lustrous chrome base, with its curved, symmetrical lines, exudes the luxury and glamor that are hallmarks of the Art Deco style. Such use of contrasting materials was a forward-thinking approach that John Graz employed to merge traditional Brazilian textures with contemporary design trends. John Graz's work in Brazil's architectural and interior design scenes was nothing short of transformative. His introduction of Art Deco to the country's design lexicon influenced a generation of Brazilian architects and designers. Graz's designs, including this side table, were not only a reflection of international style trends but also an adaptation to the Brazilian context, blending local influences with the modernist wave sweeping through design during the early 20th century. The side table's structure, with its reflective chrome support, anchored by a central column that splits into a symmetrical, quadripartite base, is indicative of the machine-age inspiration inherent in Art Deco design. The elegance of the table lies in its simplicity and the perfect balance it strikes between functionality and decorative art—a true testament to Graz's ability to infuse utility with high style. In summary, this side table represents John Graz's significant contribution to Brazilian design, marking the transition of Brazilian interiors from the traditional to the modern. It is not merely a piece of furniture but a work of art that captures a defining moment in design history, reflecting the dynamism and innovation of the Art Deco movement that John Graz so adeptly brought to the forefront of Brazilian culture.
