Fatima Arquitetura Interiores was founded in Rio de Janeiro in 1960 by architects Guilherme Nunes and Sávio Visconti, who treated furniture-making as an extension of architecture rather than a separate craft — the firm even ran its own gallery space and sponsored design competitions to sharpen the local scene. That architectural discipline shows clearly in this Brazilian jacaranda sofa: a solid frame built on clean, right-angled lines, with the timber doing the visual work rather than any applied ornament. It's a quieter, more structural take on Brazilian modernism than the curvier forms of the era — precise joinery, honest materials, and proportions clearly considered by people trained as architects first.
