Named after Rodrigues' nephew and disciple, the 'Fernando' armchair was one of the last pieces Rodrigues designed in his lifetime. It conjures designs from his past through his signature circle cut-outs and innovative form.
The Fernando chair was born from a dormant project, a roll of scratch paper among hundreds of other creations by Sergio Rodrigues, which was found by Fernando Mendes when he was looking for another design for which to make a prototype.
In homage to the “discoverer” of this never before produced design, Sergio named the chair Fernando.

The Frei Egídio Chair was developed by Lina Bo Bardi, Marcelo Ferraz, and Marcelo Suzuki to furnish the Gregório de Mattos Theater in Salvador, Bahia. The chair was conceived to be lightweight and easily transportable. To achieve this, the designers took inspiration from the folding chairs of the Italian Renaissance, which the team regularly used while working at the Glass House (Casa de Vidro).
Seeking to modernize the traditional design, the multiple slats of the classical model were distilled into three rows of wooden boards. The selection of wood, joinery, and hardware was entrusted to Ferraz and Suzuki, who developed the design and fabrication process simultaneously, ultimately arriving at the chair as we know it today.
The chair's name was chosen by Lina Bo Bardi as a tribute to Friar Egídio, who had invited her to design the Church of the Holy Spirit of the Cerrado (Igreja do Espírito Santo do Cerrado) in Uberlândia during the previous decade.
The Fresta dining table features a base composed of superimposed frames, achieving a piece that is simultaneously airy and substantial.

The Gio Lounge Armchair was named after Gio Ponti, Italian architect and editor of Domus, who selected and published some pieces by Sergio Rodrigues for the respected Italian magazine in 1959.
This piece was the first Sergio designed with this type of upholstery, in which seat and back are a single piece. On the sides of the armchair there are two pegs that can be removed to adjust the inclination of shell in three different positions, to sit formally or more relaxed. To allow for sitting cross-legged, the armchair has very low armrests. The intention of this piece was for a younger audience, who would use furniture more informally, or for meditation. The Gio armchair is one of the classics designed in the first decade of creations of Sergio Rodrigues and continues today as contemporary and youthful as at that time.
