Brazilian Ottomans by Celina Decorações, Brazil, 1960s

Timeless ottomans crafted in solid rosewood and plywood with rosewood veneer, designed and produced by Celina Decorações in Brazil circa 1960. Each piece features a soft upholstered cushion in neutral fabric and a clever lift-top storage compartment. The clean geometric form and rich wood grain exemplify the refined modernist aesthetic of mid-century Brazilian design. Both retain the original manufacturer’s labels from Celina Decorações.

Celina Decorações, based in Rio de Janeiro and active from the 1950s to the 1980s, was among the key forces that shaped Brazilian modernist furniture. Founded by Celina Zilberberg and later expanded by her son Munis, the company became known for its commitment to artisanal craftsmanship, quality materials, and elegant functionalism. By the 1960s, it had gained national recognition and international reach, offering refined pieces that balanced industrial production with handmade attention to detail - as exemplified in these elegant rosewood ottomans.
