Oscar Niemeyer Side Tables (Pair)

Oscar Niemeyer is Brazil’s most iconic architect. Though most famous for his buildings, his modernist furniture also deserves recognition. This pair of side tables is an excellent example of Niemeyer’s furniture, as it can be put directly in conversation with his architecture. The tables feature curved and sinuous forms, hallmarks of Niemeyer’s artistic vocabulary. He sought to imbue the process of furniture-making with the traditions of modernist and contemporary architecture. This pair of side tables show the architect succeeding in this endeavor. Though small in scale, they feel monumental. It is unusual to find a pair of these side tables on the market.
