About the Item
The Slatted Bench was produced by Cantù Móveis in the 1960s. It is made entirely from solid rosewood and has slats positioned on a well-structured two-footed base.
Cantù Móveis e Interiores Ltda., a notable player in Brazilian modern design during the 1960s, was led by architects Jorge Jabour Mauad and Osires Cunha Meale. Their designs masterfully blended rosewood with marble, leather, and exclusive national fabrics, positioning Cantù as an industrial furniture producer that moved beyond artisanal methods while still offering customizable, modular pieces for homes and offices.
With stores in Copacabana and Niterói, the company also provided interior design services to help clients create modern, functional spaces. For years, Cantù’s pieces have been mistakenly attributed to Joaquim Tenreiro, which represents a testament to their exceptional quality in material selection and craftsmanship. Despite modest machinery and low media presence compared to contemporaries like Celina Decorações, Cantù made a significant mark on Brazilian design, standing alongside figures like Sergio Rodrigues and companies such as L’atelier and M.L. Magalhães.
Even though Cantù's pieces went through an industrialized construction, they still carried a lot of the artisanal process, with attention to details and guaranteeing quality in every part. Drawing and modeling were done by hand, as were fitting and assembly, creating impeccable finishes.
The slatted bench has already undergone a restoration process and is in perfect condition for use. With its modernist and timeless design, the bench is ideal for interior spaces and can add personality to any environment.
