Minimalist Daybed, Liceu de Artes e Ofícios, Brazilian Mid-Century Modern
By Liceu de Artes e Ofícios
Located in Sao Paulo, SP
The daybed, manufactured by Liceu de Artes e Ofícios, is a prime example of mid-20th century Brazilian furniture design, which is renowned for its blend of modernist principles with traditional Brazilian materials and techniques.
Liceu de Artes e Ofícios was an important institution in the development of Brazilian design, providing education and promoting craftsmanship. Their furniture production is noted for its high-quality craftsmanship and use of local materials.
This particular daybed features a robust and simple wooden frame, made from native Brazilian hardwood, which is known for its durability and beautiful grain. The use of such wood not only ensures longevity but also gives the piece a warm, inviting appearance.
The design of the daybed is minimalist, with clean lines and an unadorned structure that emphasizes the natural beauty of the wood. It has a low profile and a rectangular shape, which are characteristic of modernist design, aiming for functionality without sacrificing style.
The cushioning on top is tufted, adding a touch of classic detailing to an otherwise modern piece. The tufting is not merely decorative but also helps to keep the upholstery in place and maintain its shape over time.
The legs of the daybed are short and splayed, a design choice that provides stability and a slight mid-century aesthetic flair. The clean geometry of the daybed allows it to fit seamlessly into various interior design schemes, from the more traditional to the contemporary.
Overall, this daybed represents the innovative spirit of Brazilian design from the mid-20th century, where designers and manufacturers were embracing modernist trends while fostering a unique Brazilian identity through the use of local materials and traditional craftsmanship. It's a functional, elegant piece that reflects the era's design values: form, function, and a close relationship with the materials used.
About the manufacturer:
The Liceu de Artes e Ofícios in São Paulo, established in 1873, is a significant Brazilian institution with a focus on technical education and has also made contributions to cultural and industrial production. The school was founded by the elite of coffee aristocrats with the positivist ideal of promoting the "dignity of man through work," aiming to prepare specialized labor for the country's future industrialization.
Throughout its history, the institution has undergone several transformations. It started with simple courses such as Arithmetic and then expanded to include technical education, inspired by the European Arts and Crafts Movement, which valued the manual work of craftsmen within the capitalist industry. Under the direction of architect Francisco de Paula Ramos de Azevedo...

Concha
Lounge Chair, by Martin Eisler
Carlo Hauner, Brazilian Mid-Century
By Carlo Hauner and Martin Eisler
Located in Sao Paulo, SP
The "Concha" armchair, designed by Martin Eisler and Carlo Hauner, is a hallmark of mid-century Brazilian furniture design. This chair is recognized for its elegant and organic form, indicative of the innovative design spirit of the 1950s and 1960s.
Martin Eisler (1913-1977) was an Austrian-born architect and designer who emigrated to Argentina and later worked in Brazil. Carlo Hauner (1927-1996), an Italian-born artist, designer, and entrepreneur, moved to Brazil after World War II. Together, they formed a partnership and played a significant role in the development of modern furniture design in Brazil, creating pieces that were both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
Their work is characterized by the use of local materials, and the "Concha" armchair is no exception. It typically features a metal frame with slender, tapered legs that support a seat shell with a distinctive scoop-like shape, reminiscent of a seashell ("concha" means "shell" in Portuguese). The upholstery showcases the richness of Brazilian textiles...

Geometric "S1" Lounge Chair, by Percival Lafer, Brazilian Mid-Century Modern
By Percival Lafer
Located in Sao Paulo, SP
The S1 lounge chair is a distinctive example of the work of Brazilian designer Percival Lafer, who is celebrated for his innovative use of local materials and modern design principles that characterized Brazilian furniture design in the mid-20th century.
Lafer's designs are often recognized for their combination of traditional and contemporary elements. The armchairs presented here, with their clear modernist lines and rich wooden frames, typify this blend. The wood, native Brazilian hardwood, is dark and lustrous, giving the chairs a solid and grounded appearance. The frames showcase the beauty of the wood grain, a signature element in Lafer's work, reflecting his appreciation for natural materials and their aesthetic qualities.
The chairs are upholstered in fabric, which provides a stark contrast to the smoothness of the wood. This choice of upholstery not only adds a textural contrast but also a level of comfort and luxury to the design, suggesting a softness and warmth that invites relaxation and leisure, characteristics valued in Lafer's seating designs.
The chairs' structure, with open sides and a low-slung profile, speaks to Lafer's understanding of ergonomic design, ensuring that the sitter is supported yet enveloped by the chairs' form. The horizontal slats along the base add both structural support and an element of visual interest, aligning with the mid-century modern ethos of form following function.
In essence, these lounge chairs reflect Percival Lafer's commitment to design that is at once modern, comfortable, and deeply connected to the materials and cultural context of Brazil.
About the designer:
Percival Lafer is a renowned Brazilian furniture designer whose work significantly contributed to the modernist movement in Brazil. Born in 1936, Lafer was originally trained as an architect at São Paulo’s Universidade Mackenzie. However, the unexpected passing of his father led him to take over the family furniture business with his brothers, which catalyzed his shift to furniture design in 1961.
His first notable design, the MP-1 Armchair, was launched the same year and became a hit for its innovative use of materials and design. This chair featured a steel base wrapped in rosewood and was upholstered with foam rather than traditional springs. This design approach epitomized Lafer's principle of creating fine design that was accessible and affordable.
Lafer also pioneered in the mechanical furniture movements, creating the MP-7 sofa...

s Presidential Lounge Chair, Brazilian Mid-Century Modern Design
By Jorge Zalszupin
Located in Sao Paulo, SP
The "Presidencial" lounge lounge armchair is a true icon of Brazilian modern design, created by the legendary Polish-Brazilian architect and designer Jorge Zalszupin in the 1960s. This rare and coveted piece showcases the fusion of two cultures, with its base made of tubular steel and black lacquered metal slats, topped with Brazilian Jacaranda Rosewood veneers in an unusual bentwood design.
Zalszupin's innovative use of molded laminate wood allowed him to create the curves he desired, without the need for costly manual processes. This resulted in a beautifully unique armchair, part of a series composed of a sofa and armchair, that has become a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts of Brazilian modern design.
The lounge armchair's backrest is composed of profiled hardwood veneer slats, giving the piece a light and organic structure that elegantly accommodates voluminous cushions. Its "U" form seat rests on chrome-plated steel legs with tubular feet, while the armchair's rosewood-reinforced slat back adds a touch of elegance and sophistication.
The Presidencial lounge chair is in very good vintage condition and has received new upholsteries in suede. Its sleek and modern design makes it a perfect addition to any space, whether in a home or office setting. While the armchair can be displayed without its original cushions, it also comes with a custom cushion for added comfort and style.
Overall, the Presidencial armchair...
