A refined expression of Brazilian Modernism, this rare accent table was produced by Cimo during the 1950s, one of Brazil's most influential furniture manufacturers of the twentieth century. Thoughtfully designed with clean architectural lines and exceptional craftsmanship, the piece combines functionality with the warmth and material richness that defined the golden era of Brazilian design.
The cabinet is masterfully constructed using two contrasting native Brazilian hardwoods. The body and side panels are executed in richly figured Brazilian rosewood (Jacaranda), prized for its dramatic grain movement and deep chocolate-brown coloration, while the drawer front, top, and decorative finger-jointed detailing are crafted from Pau Marfim (Ivorywood). The natural contrast between the darker rosewood and the warm honey tones of Pau Marfim creates a striking geometric composition that is both understated and visually sophisticated.
Raised on elegantly tapered solid wood legs, the table maintains a light visual presence despite its generous proportions. A single spacious drawer provides concealed storage, making the piece equally suited as a nightstand, end table, or accent cabinet beside a lounge chair or sofa. Its versatile scale allows it to function beautifully in bedrooms, living rooms, reading corners, or executive offices, seamlessly blending practicality with timeless design.
Adding to its authenticity and collectability, the interior retains the original Cimo manufacturer's seal, confirming its production by one of Brazil's most celebrated furniture makers. During the mid-century period, Cimo became renowned for combining industrial precision with exceptional woodworking, helping shape the evolution of modern Brazilian furniture while maintaining an extraordinary standard of craftsmanship.
Elegant, highly functional, and visually distinctive, this piece embodies the enduring appeal of Brazilian Modern designwhere exceptional native materials, refined proportions, and thoughtful utility come together in an object that remains as relevant today as when it was first created over seventy years ago.
