Mid-Century Modern Marquesa by Oscar and Anna Maria Niemeyer, Brazil, 1970s
-
Description
Mid-Century Modern Marquesa by Brazilian designers Oscar and Anna Maria Niemeyer, Brazil, 1970s
The celebrated architect Oscar Niemeyer, best known for his iconic design of civic buildings for Brasília, Brazil's capital, is lauded as one of the key figures in the development of modern architecture. In 1971, he launched the furniture line "On", which was developed in partnership with his daughter Anna Maria Niemeyer.
This elegant bench was originally designed in 1974 and is a great example of the organic curves and sinuous lines characteristic of Niemeyer's oeuvre. Consisting of a structure in lacquered black bent plywood, the Marquesa features a striking linear silhouette with twirling armrests and skillfully handwoven cane seat.
