SERGIO RODRIGUES, Eleh Bench for OCA Brazil

Designed by the Brazilian hardwood virtuoso Sergio Rodrigues and produced by OCA in the 1960s, the Eleh side table or bench is an absolute beauty. The bench was originally conceived for Oscar Niemeyer's iconic Manchete building, home to Bloch Enterprises, a leading figure in Brazil's communications industry at the time. Its construction features an imbuia veneer-covered wood box and robust solid wood legs. The seamless integration of metal buttons, connecting the legs with the seating part, adds a detailed touch to his design.

This piece stands in a good, original condition, ready to grace any space.

About Sergio Rodrigues

Sergio Rodrigues (1927–2014) was a Brazilian designer known for his use of solid wood and leather, combining modernist principles with a distinctly Brazilian character. He founded his own studio, OCA, in 1955, where he developed furniture rooted in local materials and ways of living. His work is closely associated with Brazilian modernism, alongside designers such as Joaquim Tenreiro and José Zanine Caldas.

Pieces like the Mole armchair, with its wooden structure and leather straps, reflect a more relaxed and tactile approach to furniture.Rodrigues also collaborated with architect Oscar Niemeyer on several projects in Brasília, linking his furniture directly to modernist architecture.
