It consists of structures that resemble crates made of pine wood.
Lina’s attempt to make furniture of good design accessible to many people didn’t work as expected. Thus, from the middle 1950s, Lina focused on developing pieces with simple techniques and materials linked to her architectural projects.
Designed by Lina Bo Bardi, Sesc Pompeia was elected in 2021 as one of the 25 most important post-war architectural works by The New York Times. The building works with a theater, exhibition space, auditorium, and open spaces that give breathing room in an agitated metropolis. The stools were part of the living areas, such as the dining hall and the library. A version is also in the theater.
The Sesc Pompeia project came intending to revitalize an old abandoned factory built in 1938. The warehouses were restored from 1977 to 1982, and the sports block was inaugurated in 1986.
