Certificate of authenticity Each piece is authenticated and certified
The Marquesa Bench by Oscar Niemeyer and his daughter Anna Maria Niemeyer was originally designed in 1974. This iconic design embodies Niemeyer’s exquisite curves and sinuous forms that defined his seminal modern architecture; at the same time, the Marquesa is reminiscent of the classic scroll bench. The bench bears an embedded seal certifying its authenticity by the Fundação Oscar Niemeyer.
Alongside his public buildings, Oscar Niemeyer designed countless pieces of furniture, driven by the need to fix “the problem with furniture arrangements”. The great master thought that beautiful modernist and contemporary architecture was often diminished by the presence of inadequate pieces of furniture… Together with his daughter, Anna Maria, he created many iconic designs including the Rio rocking chair, the Marquesa bench and the Alta armchair. Over time, he launched ON, a line of furniture comprising a desk, a sofa and an armchair. Free from the strict rules of functionalism, he injected sensuality and “Brasilidade” into his work finding beauty through asymmetry and curves.
