Etel For Espasso is the new exhibition at ESPASSO, New York’s premiere gallery for Brazilian design. The show celebrates over six decades of Brazil’s contemporary design, featuring amazing furniture made by the country’s most iconic designers and architects, brought together for the first time in the US for a group show.
This show is comprised of important works by Arthur Casas, Isay Weinfeld, Claudia Moreira Salles, Dado Castello Branco, Branco & Preto, Lia Siqueira and Jorge Zalszupin. All pieces in the show are produced by ETEL, Brazil’s most expressive manufacturer of contemporary furniture. ETEL is famous for its simple aesthetic and emphasis on sustainable processes, as they only use certified wood. Beautiful pieces created by Etel Carmona herself are also being shown here. One of the highlights of the exhibition is a new piece by designer Zalszupin, called “Veronica Chair” – his first design since the 1960s – as well as reissued pieces that have been out of production for nearly 50 years.
“This is a unique opportunity to present the best of Brazilian design, covering the past and present,” said ESPASSOʼs owner and curator, Carlos Junqueira. He is also the exclusive representative of these designers in the US. “Never before has a group show with such an elite roster of designers been exhibited outside of Brazil.”
Etel for Espasso opened last week and will run for a month. If you’re in New York it’s definitely worth a visit.

Maria Roch en Room.
Maria Roch. Entusiasta. Creadora. Emprendedora.
Nacida en el corazón de la ciudad Condal y licenciada por la Escuela Superior de Diseño – ESDI de Barcelona, la diseñadora Maria Roch se hace hueco en el panorama español de la moda. A pesar de su joven carrera en la industria, Maria Roch nos fascina habiendo ganado premios a la mejor colección y mejor concepto en ediciones pasadas del ModaFAD, y habiendo participado en las reconocidas Bread and Butter, 080 y Cibeles Ego de Madrid. Pero esto no queda aquí. Después de trabajar para uno de los diseñadores claves de la moda española, Antonio Miró, la última hazaña de Maria tiene un nombre. Room. Una acogedora y deliciosa tienda con un toque afrancesado en la calle Flassaders, 31 del Born, justo enfrente del nuevo Museo Picasso, que con tan solo un año de vida no deja de deslumbrar a todo paseante.

Base has since worked to move the brand forward within the subsequent three seasons of its New York and Las Vegas shows. Base has also been responsible for leading the development of the Project 10 sub-identity, the Las Vegas and New York sub-identities, signage and wayfinding as well as creating the overarching theme of the tradeshow, Project To-gether.
