Brazilian Design can look back to a long history. Mix of European and native influences, it has evolved very fast creating its own identity, associating wood, cane and leather, materials so present in Brazil.
The Gallery of Pierre Bergé is presenting furniture of several major Brazilian designers such as Sergio Rogriguez, Jorge Zalszupin or Carlo Hauner among others.

Twins coffee tables - Manufacturer Celina - Munis & Alexandre Zilberberg (1970) |
At this occasion, they have asked studio Makkink and Bey to reinterpret some vintage pieces in a contemporary version. Starting with the sensual beauty of the tropical forest that has strongly inspired his predecessors, Dutch designers wanted to confront vintage with contemporary reality, using new proportions for the wood, marrying it to leather,and giving to the new pieces their own language " pixelated " with a humour touch (typical of Makkink and Bey!) Brazilian wood being protected today, the contemporary designers have used noble wood such as ash tree or american walnut signing then a real interpretation of the works by Brazilian designers.
