Thrill of Brazil

Considering its long, impressive history of award-winning modern design and architecture, Brazil seems to get little international recognition. However, the current collection at Toronto’s Avenue Road could help change that. Featuring new and vintage pieces by some of Brazil’s top designers like Isay Weinfeld and Jorge Zalszupin, the gallery-like showing against Avenue Road’s all-white walls highlights the use of wood, neutrals and sensuous shapes with modernism’s signature clean lines. Each is a (pricey!) work of art that could still be comfortable in an everyday space - especially if that space is amidst the blue sky, palm-treed, oceanfront backdrop of beautiful Brazil. The collection is worth visiting – if for nothing else but to dream.
