Mercado Moderno
Mercado Moderno presents an exclusive selection of Brazilian Design showcasing a remarkable mix of mid-century modern and contemporary pieces. The modernist works of the outstanding Carlo Hauner, Jean Gillon and Jorge Zalszupin, combined with Inês Schertel's captivating contemporary pieces, notably encapsulate the Design excellence and diversity of two different Brazilian generations. Specially for this edition of Design Miami, Schertel has hand-crafted in sheep’s wool two unique pieces using a six thousand year old felting technique, revived through the designer’s hands into a graceful hanging lamp and an alluring rug that are exemplary of her holistic, sustainable creative process. Next to it, Zalszupin’s 1960s pair of Model 720 armchairs stands out as a rare find, featuring an elegant solid Caviúna wood structure and finely curved armrests, with seat and backrest still in the original sole leather of the period.
