This is a gorgeous set of 6 dining chairs designed in 1964 by Sergio Rodrigues for the headquarters of Bloch Editores S.A..
A particular characteristic of Brazilian mid-century furniture production was the practice of designing and supplying complete furnishings for residential and commercial interiors through special commissions. This model was created specifically for the Bloch Editores building, a major Brazilian publishing house founded in 1952, whose interiors were furnished by Rodrigues.
The chair features a generously proportioned seat and backrest, reflecting Rodrigues’s enduring design principle: comfort as the foundation of modern furniture.The pieces retain their original metal patrimony tags with identification numbers, reinforcing their historical connection to the building for which they were created.
A central figure in Brazilian modern design, Sergio Rodrigues established a new paradigm by developing a distinctive visual language rooted in Brazilian culture, materials, and craftsmanship, in his search for a recognizable national identity in furniture design.
