Giuseppe Scapinelli
Giuseppe Scapinelli (1891-1982) was an Italian-Brazilian furniture designer who worked primarily in the mid-20th century. He was known for his elegant and innovative designs, which often incorporated curved lines, tapered legs, and other elements that were ahead of their time.
Carlo Hauner
Carlo Hauner (1927–1997) was an Italian-born designer, he moved to São Paulo in 1948, where he co-founded Móveis Artesanal (later Forma) and, in partnership with Martin Eisler, Hauner produced refined works that combined European modernist clarity with Brazilian Materials and ideals.
Moveis Cimo
Founded in 1913 in Santa Catarina, Brazil, by Jorge Zipperer and Willy Jung as A. Ehrl & Cia., Móveis Cimo grew from a small wooden box workshop into one of Latin America’s most influential furniture manufacturers, becoming the region’s largest factory before closing in 1982.
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.
