In a classic case of being in the right place at the right time, I had the immense pleasure of meeting the charming and talented Mr Sergio Rodrigues at the Milan fair. The 82 year old architect and designer had flown in from Rio de Janeiro to join Classicon in the re-release of his iconic furniture range. Having designed furniture since 1954 Rodrigues furniture defines the Brazilian aesthetic, his pieces have always sat perfectly within the homes designed by himself and his luminaries such as Oscar Niemeyer. 

I have long been a fan of the South American aesthetic, and with the increasing demand for classic furniture from the area at international furniture auctions, it's easy to see that Classicon are onto a great thing with the charming Rodrigues.

Classicon is available locally at Matisse.
