A stunning survey of modernist furniture from Brazil, a global design center from midcentury to today
Brazil has long cultivated a modernist tradition in architecture and the arts, but little of its midcentury design has been seen outside of the country until recently. A major historical research project by premier design gallery R & Company with more than 400 historic images and new photography, Brazil Modern surveys the history and legacy of this innovative and sensual design tradition.
Featuring such titans as Lina Bo Bardi, Oscar Niemeyer, and Sergio Rodrigues, as well as numerous designers whose work and reputations rarely reached foreign shores, Brazil Modern is the first comprehensive guide to this untapped vein of modernist design.
