The Modulo Coffee Table by Oscar Niemeyer is named after the magazine he founded in the 1950s. “Módulo” was one of Brazil’s most influential publications, covering a variety of topics ranging from architecture to design, and culture at large. Designed in the 1970s, the Módulo Coffee Table is an eye-catching, sculptural piece defined by a striking asymmetric shape. The abstractness of the Modulo coffee table makes it particularly interesting, furthermore the piece reflects the style carried by Oscar Niemeyer’s famous architecture. Niemeyer designed it along side his daughter, Anna Maria Niemeyer, in 1978.
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.
