The ON Desk by Oscar Niemeyer was born out of frustration: the great master believed that the furniture of the 1970s did not match the architectural aesthetic of the time. So, he tackled the problem in his own fashion by designing himself new furniture. His signature curved lines are on every piece of the ON collection, including the ON Desk and the striking curves that frame the top. The piece was created in the 1980s, as part of a commission for the Sesc Hotel in Rio de Janeiro.
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.
