Abstract

If Sergio Rodrigues would famously known to his Poltrona Mole, we could not forget a series of office furniture designed by himself, which fulfils another function in architecture. It was the office furniture designed for Brazil's House in the Palace Doria Pamphili, Rome. Furniture that with its functionality have been forgotten, but keep in its design, material and intention something even of the optimism registered in the construction of Brasilia. When one walk through the Casa Brazil’s rooms and corridors has the impression that the objects, paintings and especially the furniture shows exactly what was the contribution of the arts to the Brazilian developmentalism period.
