Hidden Treasures
This section celebrates the lesser-known contributors to Brazilian modernism—designers, workshops, and small manufacturers working alongside iconic figures between the 1940s and 1970s. Benefiting from rapid modernization, close ties between architects and artisans, and access to native hardwoods, they produced refined, architecturally driven furniture. Often overlooked due to limited scale and exposure, these works reveal the depth, diversity, and craftsmanship of Brazil’s modern design legacy.
