About the Item

This sculptural 1960s bench by Liceu de Artes e Ofícios features a contoured rosewood seat paired with a curved iron base, showcasing the refined craftsmanship of Brazilian modern design. The bench has a visible crack running the length of the seat—an age-related characteristic that does not affect its structural integrity. It has been intentionally left unrestored to preserve the piece’s authenticity and character, though it can be repaired upon request. Designer Bio: Liceu de Artes e Oficios is a technical school in São Paulo, Brazil, that was founded in 1873. It was one of the first institutions in the country to offer vocational training in the arts and crafts, including woodworking, metalworking, and painting. Liceu de Artes e Oficios was renowned for its focus on high-quality craftsmanship and modern drawing techniques, which were key factors in the success of its furniture design department. Led by Lucio Costa, the architecture and design department of the Sao Paulo school of Arts Crafts created stunning furniture pieces during the latter half of the 20th century, showcasing the immense talent of its students. Today, Liceu de Artes e Oficios continues to offer high-quality vocational training to students from all over Brazil.
