ESPASSO presents an exhibition on Martin Eisler and Michel Arnoult's involvement in a foundational moment in mid-century Brazilian design.⁠
⁠
Martin Eisler and Michel Arnoult, both Jewish European immigrants who arrived in Brazil in the mid-20th century, made parallel attempts to redefine furniture production at a moment when its industrial and cultural infrastructures were beginning to take shape.⁠
⁠
Central to the formation of Brazilian design as a formal field and practice, their work reflects a period in which migration, industry, and design converged to reshape how furniture, and ways of living, responded to a rapidly modernizing society.⁠

On Friday, May 15th, ESPASSO will host a brunch and conversation dedicated to visionary Lina Bo Bardi, an architect whose trajectory between Italy and Brazil continues to resonate as a model of cultural translation and radical openness. ⁠
⁠
Centered around a selection of Bardi’s seating designs, including the Cadeira Frei Egídio, the talk brings together Thiago Gomide, Lissa Carmona, and João Ferraz, moderated by Hannah Martin, Senior Editor at , in a discussion that reflects on her enduring relevance.⁠

On the occasion of NYCxDESIGN, ESPASSO marks a new chapter with a week-long program of exhibitions, installations, and conversations unfolding across different spaces.⁠
⁠
Rooted in an ongoing commitment to Brazilian design, this moment signals a more interdisciplinary engagement with a broader cultural dialogue.⁠
⁠
Within this context, we come together with VERSO to introduce a complementary perspective on contemporary, collectible design. The result is a program that moves beyond continuity toward a broader exchange across time, geography, and discipline.⁠
⁠
Stay tuned.

In honor of what would have been José Zanine Caldas’ 107th birthday this weekend, we are sharing a little bit about the remarkable architect-designer-sculptor. In reflecting on his story, we have collected images of Caldas and his multi-scalar one-of-a-kind works, rooted in their environment. More than objects and spaces, his practice stood as a position: commitment to process, and to working with nature rather than against it. ⁠

Welcoming the season for lush and open settings, where architecture gives way to landscape and living extends beyond walls.⁠
⁠
Casa Taguaíba, designed by .estudio and .vitor in Guarujá, São Paulo, embodies this shift. Conceived as a low-impact beach house with minimal demolition, the project draws from a “caiçara” language, rooted in the traditions of Brazil’s coastal communities and bringing its residents into closer dialogue with nature and memory. Featured on the cover of , the house forms part of a broader reflection on more sustainable ways of living.⁠
⁠
Within this setting, the Taja Armchair by Sergio Rodrigues (1978) appears as both structure and gesture. Its solid wood frame and signature circular cut-outs lend a sculptural presence that remains grounded and unpretentious.⁠

Featured here are iconic Brazilian mid-century armchairs and chairs that reflect European design influences of the time, with a strong sense of Brazilian identity.⁠
⁠
European modernism emphasized structural logic, industrial clarity, and rational construction. When these ideas arrived in Brazil in the mid-20th century, including through European designers who immigrated to and became naturalized in Brazil, they adopted the discipline of modernist structure, but adapted it to a very different context: tropical climate, abundant hardwoods, craft traditions, and a culture that valued informality and comfort.⁠

Featured here are iconic Brazilian mid-century modern armchairs and chairs which help illustrate parallels to Europeans design at the time, however with a strong sense of place.⁠
⁠
European modernism (Bauhaus, Le Corbusier, etc.) emphasized structural logic, industrial clarity, and rational construction. When these ideas arrived in Brazil in the mid-20th century—including through European designers who immigrated to and became naturalized in Brazil—designers adopted the discipline of modernist structure, but adapted it to a very different context: tropical climate, abundant hardwoods, craft traditions, and a culture that valued informality and bodily comfort.⁠
