Story
Brazilian modernism
For the Joaquim side tables, Giorgio Bonaguro draws on furniture made for the modernist architecture of Niemeyer, Costa, Vilanova Artigas and Bo Bardi. Geometric, linear forms honour the simple, elegant lines of Joaquim Tenreiro, regarded as one of the fathers of modern tropical design.
Creative recycling
Reusing production waste follows contemporary principles of creative recycling and eco-sustainability, and shows in the construction from the metal frame to the marble tops and bases.
