Celebrating the legacy of Giuseppe Scapinelli on his birthday.

A visionary who made Brazil his creative home, Scapinelli became a leading force in 1950s São Paulo with his elegantly crafted furniture and signature curved forms. Through Fábrica de Móveis Giesse and Fábrica de Tapetes Santa Helena, he brought timeless design to life, impeccably made with traditional Brazilian wood. His pieces remain a tribute to thoughtful craftsmanship and bold, modern beauty.

Featuring the GS4 Dining Chair and GS1 Dining Chair, both reissued by ETEL, alongside the vintage GS Lounge Armchair.

One of Sergio Rodrigues’ most iconic creations, the ‘Mole’ armchair (meaning “soft” in Portuguese), redefined comfort when it debuted in 1961.

With its oversized leather cushion, adjustable support straps, and solid wood frame, the ‘Mole’ sparked a global shift toward relaxed, human-centered design and won first prize at the IV Furniture Bienal in Italy.
Pictured here in our Los Angeles showroom, this piece embodies laid-back luxury with a Brazilian soul.

ESPASSO NY will host ‘Soft Resistance,’ an exhibition which gathers 27 ceramic artists and designers who explore clay’s dual nature: malleable and yielding in its raw form, yet capable of withstanding centuries once transformed. In dialogue with these earthen forms, the warmth and density of Brazilian wood, shaped by masters of modernist design, offer a grounded counterpoint to clay’s elemental softness. Together, these materials form an architecture of balance, honoring the past while opening space for contemporary expression.

The exhibit launches with an opening cocktail June 11th, from 6:00-9:00 PM and will remain on display until July 11th.

Curation: .a.moon

A special thanks to .world for a selection of non-alcoholic spirits, and for some beautiful wines, for divinity inspired cocktails, and for the most delicious blanco tequila.
