3. Joaquim Tenreiro (1906-1992)" is the pioneer of modernist Brazilian furniture making. A forerunner in the use of rediscovered raw materials as well as the creator of a new formal language in 20thcentury Brazilian furniture design, he drew on the lessons of past furniture making as a vital source, not only in the mastery of technical and constructive solutions, but also in the aesthetic experience, craftsmanship, and the cultural meaning of his production. His exquisitely crafted pieces evoke a refined coexistence of traditional values and modern aesthetics, strongly bound to the Brazilian cultural milieu." more here.

"Ms. Pergay's work falls somewhere between art and design, but she insisted
that she is neither an artist nor a designer. Instead, she explained, she envisions a finished object, making a quick sketch and then charming someone else into constructing it."

(sconce, 1968)

Maria Pergay. 1930

French designer Maria Pergay (b. 1930) has been creating innovative, contemporary objects, furniture, and decoration for the past fifty years. From Paris to Saudi Arabia to Russia, her sophisticated designs fashioned from iron, silver, steel, or bronze have earned her a coveted following among the most influential, iconic, and fascinating personalities of her time, including Pierre Deshays (President of Maison Jansen), Salvador Dalí, Pierre Cardin, King Fahd, and numerous others.
