The entire set is made in Brazilian Rosewood (known as Jacaranda) and Rosewood leaf of the finest quality as it can be seen on the wood veins and grain. Each table consists of four legs and a tabletop. Sold as a set of three.

The set has all the fun aspects of a bold Brazilian Modern piece: Clean and straight lines, exuberant Brazilian Jacaranda. A set like this could flex into any Mid-Century Modern, Modern or Contemporary, Transitional, or even Hollywood Regency environment.

The gorgeous set is showcased in our gallery together with a sofa by Cimo in Leather and fabric and the convo looks stellar! (Image attached). The last images are vintage and contemporary publications, including Jean Gillon’s book.
