With names like Luiza, Duda, André, Gilda, Valente and Arbatax, the pieces in Fernando Mendes’ newest furniture collection honor the designer’s close friends and inspiration for his work. Exhibit will be open to the public from May 17 through June 30, Monday to Thursday from 10am to 6pm

The pieces are defined by careful craftsmanship and formal minimalism that exemplify the designer’s skill in handcrafted carpentry. Each piece is an invitation to experience the trivial beauty of everyday life: comfortable chairs for contemplating scenic landscapes, sitting with friends around a table, or toasting at the bar.

Fernando Mendes is an architect, designer and carpenter, born in São Paulo and currently residing in Rio de Janeiro, where his atelier is located. His work is produced in a contemporary carpentry shop that uses hand tools and artisanal techniques in the production of furniture and objects designed by himself and the Brazilian furniture master Sergio Rodrigues, with whom he worked closely for over thirty years.
