Description

A refined pair of Brazilian Modern nightstands by Teperman, crafted in Brazil during the 1950s and executed in solid Imbuia. Defined by their architectural clarity and sculptural restraint, each piece features a single drawer housed within a clean, rectilinear wooden box resting on four elegantly tapered straight legs.

The drawer front is subtly sculpted, introducing depth and shadow to the otherwise disciplined geometry. The Imbuia has been professionally refinished to reveal its richly varied grain—marked by warm tonal shifts and expressive veining that speak to the material’s natural artistry. The satin-matte surface enhances the wood’s character without gloss, maintaining the integrity and quiet sophistication of mid-century Brazilian design.

Balanced, functional, and visually grounded, this pair exemplifies the enduring intelligence of post-war Brazilian craftsmanship—where proportion, materiality, and structure converge with restraint. Ideal as bedside tables or as accent pieces in a layered interior, they bring warmth, authenticity, and sculptural presence to any setting. The manufacture seal is located in the back of each table.
