Established in 2002, ESPASSO is committed to conserving Brazil's rich 20th century design heritage and expanding its global reach, while promoting new creative generations and today's leading designers.
Present in New York, Los Angeles, Miami and London, the gallery represents mid-century modern and contemporary Brazilian designers, and has consolidated itself as a thriving outpost for architects, interior designers, artists, collectors and museum curators, to engage in education and exchange.
The brand has acquired global recognition for its curatorial vision and impeccable services, representing works of the finest execution and enduring cultural relevance.
Named after Gio Ponti, Italian architect and editor of Domus, the Gio armchair by Sergio Rodrigues is pictured here in Rome's Palazzo Pamphilj in Piazza Navona, site of the Brazilian embassy. Don't miss the exhibition "Sergio Rodrigues, una esperienza italiana," currently on view there through January 19th! With a growing recognition following a report published by Domus magazine in 1959, Sergio Rodrigues was asked to take on the interior design of the palace. The exhibition celebrates Rodrigues’ works by featuring emblematic furniture designs, re-editions, and documents that narrate how, since the 1960s, from the restoration of the Palazzo Pamphilj to the design of the Palácio dos Arcos in Brasília, Rodrigues' modern design became a symbol of innovation, elegance, and Brazilian identity on the international cultural scene. 📸 @institutosergiorodrigues @sergiorodriguesatelier & @bla_studio #sergiorodrigues #gioponti #gio #armchair #rome #exhibition #espasso #interiordesign #design #homedecor #interiordecor #style #architecture #interiordesigner #furniture #inspiration #designer #braziliandesign #collectibledesign #minimalist #midcenturyfurniture #archdaily #architecturelovers #midcenturystyle #midcenturydesign #modern #architectural #architecturedaily #architecturelover
Happy 2026! To begin the New Year, we are sharing this video from the lush Mantiqueira Mountains. Carlos Motta named the 'Mantik' collection after this landscape — here the armchair is featured. Handmade with reclaimed peroba rosa wood and an oxidized steel structure, these materials were chosen for their resistance and compatibility with artisanal production.
