TZ Bench, a tribute to Fernando’s aunt and godmother Maria Thereza, who requested a piece for a kitchen counter. It is a three-legged stool with a circular seat, made entirely of solid turned wood, with mortise and tenon.
It is a bench that can have different sizes and be produced between 54 and 72 cm in height, in addition to the standard height of 60 cm.
This pair of vintage armchairs is marked by the contrast of their striking Jacaranda wood frame and the contemporary textured fabric used in their recent reupholstery.
Custom-made bench crafted from peroba do campo, released in 2023.
The joints stand out in this design. the attachment of the legs, for example, requires no gluing or screws. only the “dovetail” joint and a trapezoidal wedge keep the legs attached to the seat.
Wooden butterflies reinforce the connections of the pieces that make up the seat, which can measure up to 3 meters in length.
The "Ventura" armchair is distinguished by its sleek and elegant design. Its base is made from native Brazilian Freijó wood, and employs traditional fine woodworking techniques, such as mortises and tenons; its seat and back are leather covered.

Named after the Victoria amazonica, a magnificent water lily native to the Amazon Rainforest, the Victoria Amazonica Coffee Table draws inspiration from the plant’s elegant, organic form. The design features four independent, petal-like segments that glide along a hidden track, allowing the table to shift between multiple configurations. It can remain in a more closed position, with the petals gathered together, or open, bringing the table’s surfaces—and the objects atop them—closer to those seated nearby.

An incomplete prototype was presented in 1991 during a great retrospective exhibit of Sergio Rodrigues' work in the Museum of Modern Art of Rio de Janeiro. About three prototypes were made for the occasion and one of them was kept in the studio's storage unit. The project's conclusion only depended on the shape of the headrest, a few options were tested unsuccessfully. In the beginning of 2013, Sergio Rodrigues sketches a simple line defining the contour of the headrest in a croquis of the armchair - the design was complete! The chair called by the creator's nickname, Xibô, finally came to life.
