18 Oct Brazilian Design in London´s Soho: Greek St Gallery
“Rio” , Vintage Chaise Longue by Oscar Niemeyer
A new gallery for contemporary and iconic Brazilian design, as well some sustainable up-and-comers, 19 Greek Street is a good-looking addition to London´s Soho.
19 Greek Street is London’s hub for international contemporary design honouring values of craftmanship, sustainability and design aesthetics. Established by Designer and Creative Director Marc Peridis, the 6-floor victorian townhouse hosts an ecclectic and contrasting mix of collections including: the UK outpost of ESPASSO – the much acclaimed specialists in modernist and contemporary Brazilian design.
ESPASSO will bring to the UK the works of the designers it has become celebrated for in the US. Onsite will be exquisite works from the mid-century masters Sergio Rodrigues and Jorge Zalszupin, future classics by contemporary designers Carlos Motta, Etel Carmona, Arthur Casas, Claudia Moreira Salles, and Isay Weinfeld, as well as iconic re-edition pieces by Branco & Preto. Sitting alongside this main collection will be a selection of vintage pieces that will further highlight the heritage and importance of Brazilian design and culture.
Today, with a comprehensive selection of work from Brazil´s most influential modernists readily available under one roof, Espasso has become an ambassador of Brazilian culture from its gallery space in West Hollywood, Los Angeles and its East Coast gallery, now based in Tribeca. The gallery consistently flies the Brazilian flag high, hosting events such as musical showcases and film screening on both coasts. Its London space will be no different.
