Brazilian Modern Hand Painted Bar in Hardwood by G. Scapinelli, 1950s, Brazil
-
Description
The bar is made with Brazilian rosewood (jacaranda) and consists of two cabinets, three shelves and two levels resting in four toothpick legs. The top level serves for preparing beverages while the lower one is for storage. The doors feature brass finishes with white formica inside and out. The front section features hand painted tiles that not only are rare in Scapinelli work but adds a touch of sophistication to an already beautiful piece.
Giuseppe Scapinelli was born in 1891 in Modena, Italy, but like many of his Italian fellows, he crossed the ocean and immigrated to Brazil where he started a new life. An accomplished painter, ceramist, and sculptor, he began his career as a furniture designer in the early 1950s.
Scapinelli was both a furniture maker and retailer in 1950s-1960s in São Paulo. His futuristic style is easily recognizable because of the curvy lines and soft shapes, inspired by the Italian design of the 1940s, a departure from the mainstream designs of his fellow retailers. His pieces are beautifully crafted in Brazilian traditional wood. He designed and produced many unique pieces for distinctive São Paulo homes. Scapinelli died in 1982.
