Furniture in Brazil: origins of production and industry - M. Angélica Santi

Furniture in Brazil: origins of production and industrialization is a pleasurable and enriching narrative about the history of furniture production and industrialization in the country reconstructed based on interviews, analysis of documents, catalogues, photographs and, mainly, countless pieces of furniture. M. Angélica Santi takes the reader through the paths of carpentry technique, from artisanal craftsmanship to the beginnings of mechanized production. Starting from a detailed technical appreciation of individual pieces, the author explores the connections between the current industrial scenario and our colonial and artisanal past.
