Summary
One of the best known Brazilian architects, Ruy Ohtake has his career as a furniture designer reviewed in this book, published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition at the Tomie Ohtake Institute. Ruy began his career in the 1960s, in the context of the brutalism of Escola Paulista, and since his early projects, there has been a concern to extend control over the ways of inhabiting furniture design, with the predominant use of fixed concrete structures. Later, his work became strongly marked by the use of curves and colors, with a very free use of the trace and visual compositions, extending these characteristics to the pieces that complement the designs. The architect also started producing autonomous design series, marked by experimentation with the limits of materials such as steel, MDF and glass. The book features text by the curators of the exhibition, Fabio Magalhães, Marili Brandão and Priscyla Gomes, and a photo essay by Ruy Teixeira.
