Broyhill Brasilia

Brazilian
The Broyhill Brasilia line emerged during a period marked by cultural curiosity and architectural innovation, inspired by Brasília, Brazil's newly constructed capital envisioned by renowned architect Oscar Niemeyer in the late 1950s. This ambitious urban project captivated the world with its modernist ideals, characterized by bold, sweeping lines and organic forms.
 
In 1962, Broyhill introduced the Brasilia line, drawing from Niemeyer's architectural marvels. The collection made its debut at the Seattle World's Fair, instantly captivating audiences with its dramatic sculptural forms and progressive design sensibilities. Departing from Broyhill's traditional offerings, the Brasilia line was distinguished by intricate detailing reminiscent of Niemeyer's cityscape. Iconic elements like sculpted waves and arches echoed the grandeur of Brasília's Palácio da Alvorada, infusing each piece with sophistication and architectural finesse.
 
Spanning an array of furniture including dressers, credenzas, dining sets, and bedroom ensembles, the Brasilia line predominantly featured walnut craftsmanship. This choice not only reflected the collection's exotic inspiration but also ensured practicality and accessibility for a wide audience.
 
Beyond its initial production from 1962 to 1972, the Brasilia line's influence endures. Its distinctive design language and impeccable craftsmanship have secured a lasting legacy among mid-century modern aficionados. Today, Broyhill Brasilia pieces are cherished for their historical significance and timeless style, seamlessly blending into modern interiors while preserving a piece of architectural history.
