About the Item
1974 is a Brazilian contemporary sculptural console table designed by Otávio Motta and first presented at ArtRio International Art Fair in 2017. The piece marks an important moment in the artist’s trajectory, where furniture becomes a spatial sculpture and function becomes a poetic gesture.
Constructed from carefully selected hardwood and refined through a rigorous handcrafted process, the console presents a powerful balance between structural precision and organic expression. Its elongated horizontal body is anchored by a strong architectural logic, while subtle irregularities in the wood surface preserve the presence of the hand and the natural character of the material.
Rather than functioning merely as a utilitarian object, 1974 operates as a sculptural presence within the interior. The piece was conceived to occupy space with the same authority as an artwork, creating tension between weight and lightness, solidity and openness. Its proportions and rhythm allow it to engage both wall and floor, transforming the architectural environment around it.
This console is a one-of-a-kind, artist-signed work, created as part of Motta’s early exploration of functional sculpture and later exhibited in one of Brazil’s most important international art fairs. It stands as a bridge between collectible design and contemporary art, intended for interiors that value authorship, material integrity, and spatial presence.

Otávio Motta
Otávio Motta is a Brazilian contemporary sculptor active in both Brazil and the international art scene. His practice centers on the investigation of material as a sensitive, expressive entity, exploring how physical matter can hold, transmit, and respond to forces such as memory, perception, and presence.
Motta’s work fuses natural wood, metal, resin, and industrial elements, merging precise craftsmanship with conceptual research. Rather than treating these materials as inert, he approaches them as active participants capable of generating tension, vibration, and spatial awareness. His sculptures function as experiential objects, inviting the viewer to engage physically and perceptually, not just visually.
Informed by an ongoing study of materiality and invisible forces, Motta positions his work at the intersection of contemporary sculpture, design, and architecture. The result is a body of work that acts as both physical structure and conceptual inquiry, engaging the viewer in a contemplative experience of form.
