Paulo Alves - Seen in perspective, the furniture designed by Paulo Alves over 20 years of work reveals a creative logic in which wood – and its natural and symbolic characteristics – is the protagonist. His skill in working with this material is reminiscent of the legacy of the masters of modern Brazilian furniture.

Pé Palito - The choice of pieces to be presented by the gallery was guided by the harmonization between the modern fronts of the 1950s and 60s. The list includes works by Jean Gillon and Percival Lafer (1960-70), Jorge Zalszupin (1960), Carlo Hauner and Martin Eisler (1950) together with furniture pieces from the famous Novo Rumo furniture factory.
Teo Store - Between 1940 and 1970, national design defined its identity using materials that were typical of Brazil, such as regional wood, leather and straw. From this period, the brand will exhibit original modernist furniture, considered works of art and designed by names such as Joaquim Tenreiro (1906-1992), Jorge Zalszupin, Geraldo de Barros (1923-1998) and Zanine Caldas (1919-2001).
