Thanks, appreciated...
Interesting evolution of the last piece. Bravisimo.
Thanks... Welcome on Steem, will be nice to follow you...
The Mole Armchair is amazing. I love how the drooping leather arm covers and seat. Gives it a much more organic feeling. Good contrast to the frame. I have never heard of Sergio Rodrigues, but then again I don't know many Brazilian midcentury designers or architects besides Oscar Niemeyer. I will have to do some more research! Any that you suggest? Also, do you work in design or architecture?
Yeah looks perfect to chill with a good book and a glass of whisky...
There are great designers in Brazil like José Zanine Caldas (I did a post a couple days ago about him) or Joaquim Tenreiro. But my knowledge stops there... You have a good article on Blomberg about it.
And for your last question, nope I'm not working in design, just appreciate it. And you ?
Exactly! whiskey and cognac leather, the best.
Thanks! I will check them out.
Same here actually. No education in it or work in the field, just a lot of love for design. Got into Scandinavian design and architecture a few years ago with Alvar Aalto and it just kind of blossomed from there.
It'll be nice to follow you...
Thnx. same here. I'm planning on regular design/art/architecture posts as well
