LinBrasil

LinBrasil is a Brazilian publisher dedicated exclusively to the work of Sergio Rodrigues, the architect and designer behind some of the most recognisable Brazilian modern furniture. Founded by Gisèle Pereira Schwartsburd, who studied industrial design at the Federal University of Paraná, the company began in 2001 as a serial editor of his pieces rather than a manufacturer or retailer.

Its catalogue holds 56 designs, including the Mole armchair, and production is entrusted to selected industries that follow the original moulds and patterns, combining CNC machining with hand finishing. Pieces for South America are made in tauari, a species encouraged by Brazilian environmental bodies, while those for the northern hemisphere use beech; the collection is sold through design-led stores in Brazil and selected addresses in the US and Europe.
