This set of chairs was designed by Branco & Preto (Black & White), a company founded in 1952 by a collective of visionary architects who decided to create furniture suitable for the modern buildings they were designing. The company adhered to sober modernists principles, expressing simplicity and lightness through the use of clean lines and geometric precision. Branco & Preto production was always kept small as it was never industrialized. The pieces were usually made-to-order, handcrafted and customizable resulting in furniture that were available to those who could afford it.
The production of those chairs emphasized on high-quality workmanship as well as the use of the best Brazilian native woods and materials.
