Design

In a world where the boundaries between fields of work are becoming increasingly porous, Brazilian design has not been forgotten by the Museum either. In addition to some reference works, such as the Modelo 1001 chair, manufactured in the 1950s by furniture Cimo; the Folio armchair, by Emerson Borges; or even the Beijo armchair, by Maurício Klabin, the MON collection includes works that go far beyond the utilitarianism to juxtapose sculpture, as is the case with the works of João Batista Vilanova Artigas (1915-1985), who, although born in Curitiba, is one of the main names in the history of architecture in São Paulo, or Ricardo Afiune, pioneer in the theme of sustainability in furniture with his Tric bench, created with the Collaço e Monteiro architecture office.
