About the Item

Produced in the 1960s by Celina Decorações, this Rosewood bookshelf has a robust and elaborate structure. Built with four columns, two drawer modules, and one cabinet module, it can accommodate up to fifteen shelves. Each column is made of two large pieces connected at the edges by small wooden cubes and has multiple holes, allowing the shelves to be arranged as desired. Founded in 1938 in Rio de Janeiro, Celina Decorações became a cornerstone of Brazilian modernist furniture design under Munis Zilberberg’s leadership. The company gained national prominence by blending industrial production with artisanal craftsmanship. Zilberberg’s innovative contributions to A Cigarra magazine elevated Celina’s influence, using the platform to offer interior design advice and showcase aspirational settings. This approach democratized modern aesthetics while cementing Celina Decorações’ role as a trailblazer in Brazilian design culture. The bookshelf is entirely covered in rosewood veneers, and all have been fully restored.
