About the Item
Produced in the 1960s by Celina Decorações, this desk has a simple yet functional structure, showcasing the early stages of industrialization in Brazilian furniture design. Its wide rosewood boards, alternating between solid and veneered plywood, highlight the wood's grain, making it the centerpiece of the design. The structure consists of two legs with supporting planks, a large top, and two drawers.
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 desk has received wood repairs and refinishing, yet some of the wear has been preserved as a testimony of the piece's history.
