About the Item

This sculptural three-legged side table, attributed to an unknown Brazilian designer and dating to the early 1950s, is a refined expression of the principles that came to define Brazilian modernism—most notably, a devotion to curves, lightness, and organic form. Brazilian modern designers of the mid-20th century sought to soften the rigidity of European modernism, favoring rounded profiles, fluid transitions, and an almost anthropomorphic sense of balance. This table exemplifies that ethos through its gently rounded legs, subtly braided structural elements, and perfectly proportioned circular top, carved entirely from solid hardwood. The three-leg configuration—both functional and sculptural—creates a dynamic sense of movement and visual tension, allowing the table to feel stable yet remarkably light. The convergence of the legs beneath the top forms a graceful, almost calligraphic gesture, reflecting the period’s interest in expressive structure as design language. Crafted in ivory-toned hardwood and recently refinished, the table is in excellent condition, with the wood’s natural warmth and grain now fully revealed. Understated yet architecturally compelling, this piece stands as a quiet but confident example of Brazilian modern design—where craftsmanship, material integrity, and sculptural elegance coexist.
