The book extensively classifies the work of 15 of the most representative Brazilian furniture designers in the modernist period, between the 1940s and 70s. Lina Bo Bardi, Joaquim Tenreiro, José Zanine Caldas, Sergio Rodrigues and Jorge Zalszupin are some of the designers whose work is presented in detail over 484 pages in an extensive approach that allows us to understand the details of their creative thinking and the variations in constructive and aesthetic solutions employed by each of the designers in focus. The text signed by Professor Maria Cecilia Loschiavo (author of the most important academic bibliographic source on the subject, originally dated 1995 and reissued by Editora Olhares), in partnership with her colleague Tatiana Sakurai, goes over the formative elements of the genesis of modern Brazilian design and weaves an analysis that leads the subject to its current context of dialogue with art and international appreciation. In addition, there are biographical profiles of each of the main authors and two extra chapters, one on architects' contributions to modern furniture design and the final chapter on other contributions, making clear the extent of production in the period.
