For history buffs here it goes.Sergio Rodrigues was hired to furnish some of the most important buildings of the newly built Brazilian capital, Brasilia, in the 60s. The Eleh model was used to decorate several buildings including the Palacio of Planalto (presidential office) as is shown in the images
