For the history buffs here, it goes…Sergio Rodrigues started working in the 1950’s when the foundations of modern Brazilian architecture were already laid out, yet furniture design was still nascent. Rodrigues set himself the task of designing furniture that was both truly Brazilian and modernist at the same time. Over the course of his career, he accomplished this task by defining a robust, modern, and pure language reflected in his work.

Also attached are some vintage and contemporary publications of the famous piece.
