SÉRGIO RODRIGUES SLIDESHOW

Dwell posted today a excellent slideshow of designer Sérgio Rodrigues. It has photos of his famous furniture designs, some drawings, a couple of his architectural projects, and some "life and times" stuff.

Sketch for the interior design of a house, 1955

Recognized for his architecture and interior design, Brazilian modernist Sergio Rodrigues is renown for his furniture, often executed with humor and whimsy: His Mole chair and sofa  is exaggeratedly fat with flaps of black leather; the Tonico chair and sofa  includes an oversize, belted bolster; and his Aspas  (Quotation Marks) chair is sometimes known as the Chifruda  chair, which roughly translates to a woman whose husband tends toward cheating.
