Respectiva Campana, exh. cat., Museu da Casa Brasileira, São Paulo, 1998, n.p.

Overall very good original condition. The seat, which is executed in plastic tubing, has some scattered surface dirt, especially in the crevices. The uneven edges and irregular configuration and are consistent with the design and not a result of condition. The chromium plated legs with some minor abrasions consistent with age and use. The surfaces of the chrome are speckled with minor discolorations that are consistent with the natural aging process of the material. A rare and early design by the artists with superb exhibition history.
