Description
Designed in the 1960s, the Caola sofa by Sergio Rodrigues exemplifies the human-centered philosophy that defined Brazilian Modernism. Constructed with a solid hardwood frame and a Jacaranda (Brazilian rosewood) base, the sofa combines architectural weight with relaxed proportions. Rodrigues rejected rigid European modernism in favor of furniture shaped by climate, social life, and material abundance.
This four-seat sofa has been meticulously reupholstered in Brazil by master craftsmen who worked directly with Rodrigues for decades, ensuring fidelity to original construction and intent. The light green fabric complements the natural warmth of the rosewood while maintaining period appropriateness. Designed for generous depth and enveloping support, the Caola sofa represents Brazilian modern furniture at its most refined and livable.
