A stunning survey of modernist furniture from Brazil, a global design center from midcentury to today

Brazil has long cultivated a modernist tradition in architecture and the arts, but little of its midcentury design has been seen outside of the country until recently. A major historical research project by premier design gallery R & Company with more than 400 historic images and new photography, Brazil Modern surveys the history and legacy of this innovative and sensual design tradition.

Featuring such titans as Lina Bo Bardi, Oscar Niemeyer, and Sergio Rodrigues, as well as numerous designers whose work and reputations rarely reached foreign shores, Brazil Modern is the first comprehensive guide to this untapped vein of modernist design.

Aric Chen is Curator of Design and Architecture at M+, the new museum for visual culture at the heart of Hong Kong's West Kowloon Cultural District. Originally from the United States, Chen most recently served as Creative Director of Beijing Design Week, and has also been an independent curator and writer in New York, organizing exhibitions internationally and contributing to dozens of publications, including the New York Times, Wallpaper*, Metropolis, Fast Company, Architectural Record, PIN-UP, and others.

Zesty Meyers is cofounder of the design gallery R & Company, which promotes a close study, appreciation, and preservation of twentieth and twenty-first century design. R & Company represents a distinguished group of historical and contemporary designers whose work is among the most innovative and finely crafted of their time.
