Genaro Ming Perez was a Spanish immigrant who arrived in Brazil in the early 1920’s to start, two decades later, the construction of an important modernist furniture factory. His “Genaro Ming Peres – Quality Furniture” began producing in 1949.

In the 1960s, the first store appeared in the Móoca neighborhood, in São Paulo, with the name “Ming Decorações”, offering customers a wide range of products made with quality and originality, like this beautiful cart/table/sealed bar.
