Written by scholar Aric Chen for The Monacelli Press, the book surveys the history of Brazil’s iconic designers by exploring the innovations in material, form, and technique achieved during this period in time. Native hardwoods and craft traditions combined with European influences resulted in the signature style of Brazilian design. The Bowl Chair was originally designed in 1951 for Arper by Lina Bo Bardi. A limited edition of 500 was created in partnership with the Instituto Lina Bo e P.M. Bardi in São Paulo.
