Game table
Rosewood and felt
Sergio Rodrigues, the youngest of the designers highlighted here, melded together rationalist principles with large doses of humor and craft. He understood geometry like few others and was often ahead of his time.

Prototype
Lina Bo Bardi used to say that she did not design furniture for its own sake, but made exceptions when the piece would help to complete a project. The Frei Egidio chair was designed with Marcelo Ferraz and Marcelo Suzuki for a theater in Bahia, inspired by an Italian Renaissance folding chair they used when working at Bo Bardi's Glass House. In the theater setting, this shape allowed viewers to place their chairs anywhere they wanted or as the play demanded. -
