Born at a time when Niemeyer felt frustrated with the standard of furniture design in Brazil, the eponymous ON Dining Table, a collaboration with his daughter Anna Maria, reflects the organic curves so redolent of his architecture. The results of the collaboration are a series of striking furniture pieces that are instantly recognisable.

OSCAR NIEMEYER

1905 - 2012

Famous for designing several landmark buildings in Brasília, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and around the world, Niemeyer also created sculptural pieces of furniture. 

The desire to create his own furniture was born out of frustration; he often thought furniture would detract from modernist and contemporary architecture. So he decided to design his own. 

Together with his daughter, Anna Maria, he designed the iconic Rio rocking chair, the Marquesa bench and the Alta armchair. He would later create the ON line: a desk, a sofa and an armchair that reflected the famous curves of his architecture.
