ABOUT THE COLLECTION:
Every piece is an investment and inspiration for years to come. Our first collection consists of over 1,500 Brazilian midcentury-modern furniture pieces. The collection is vast and diverse, with iconic and historical pieces from Brazilian Modern design masters such Joaquin Tenreiro, Sergio Rodrigues, Jorge Zalszupin and Jean Gillon as well as less known designers of the same time, such as, Pierre Weckx, Alexandre Rapoport Giuseppe Scapinelli, Carlo Hauner and Martin Eisler.
We only work with pieces with a clear provenance and attribution by choosing them from trusted sources in Brazil where we can trace their origin. Equally important, we restore the pieces to their original state, working with the same artisans who handcrafted these pieces back in the 70s & 80s.
The founder, Rodrigo Salem, a former tech executive with 20 years of international business experience and a passionate collector for over 25 years, shifted career paths 2 years ago and immersed himself in the world of Mid-century Brazilian Modern design as a gallery owner. Coming from art collector parents, Rodrigo was exposed to the art world from a young age. This passion not only grew with time but was refined with his travels across more than 80 countries. Born in Peru, Rodrigo left home when he was 22 years old to pursue his career and dreams, living in Mexico City, Hong Kong, Miami, Rio de Janeiro, and New York City (his home for the last 9 years).
Rodrigo personally sources furniture from various locations across Brazil and oversees the restoration process to ensure that each piece is brought back to its original beauty. Once restored, these pieces are then shipped to Found Collectibles gallery in NYC.
