This section focuses on the lesser-known treasures within Brazilian design, which have yet to receive the recognition they deserve from the public.

Despite being overshadowed by the iconic designs of Joaquim Tenreiro, Carlo Hauner, Martin Eisler, Jorge Zalszupin and Sergio Rodrigues, these craftsmen and small manufacturers still managed to produce cutting-edge pieces that embodied the "modern values" of form and materiality.

Despite existing alongside their more famous counterparts, these high-quality pieces have often been overlooked or stifled by commercial interests.
