Produced in the 1960s by Celina Decorações, this beautiful bench is made up of a two-legged plywood base with Rosewood veneers and, resting on it, the rectangular upholstery in light fabric, contrasting with the color and grains of the wood.
Founded in 1938 in Rio de Janeiro, Celina Decorações became a cornerstone of Brazilian modernist furniture design under Munis Zilberberg’s leadership. The company gained national prominence by blending industrial production with artisanal craftsmanship. Zilberberg’s innovative contributions to A Cigarra magazine elevated Celina’s influence, using the platform to offer interior design advice and showcase aspirational settings. This approach democratized modern aesthetics while cementing Celina Decorações’ role as a trailblazer in Brazilian design culture.
The bench was completely restored, undergoing wood repair and refinishing, and receiving new upholstery made with original Bossa Fabrics.
