Joaquim Tenreiro, Brazil, 1950s

Bar with Two Barstools
Wood, laminate, and wrought iron

In addition to his mastery of hardwoods, Tenreiro also experimented with other materials, as in this bar with a Formica top (which began to be produced in Brazil in 1950), that he paired with wrought iron stools. These pieces were one-offs made for private commissions for the carioca population, as the people from Rio are called.
