In the 1960s, Cantù Móveis e Interiores Ltda., under the visionary leadership of architects Jorge Jabour Mauad and Osires Cunha Meale, emerged as an icon of modern Brazilian design. Their bold approach uniquely combined materials such as jacaranda wood, marble, leather, and national fabrics, creating pieces that united industrial sophistication with everyday functionality. Cantù was not limited to furniture production; they also offered customizable solutions for residential and corporate spaces, with stores in Rio de Janeiro and interior design services that helped transform environments in innovative ways. Despite modest machinery and less visibility compared to other local industries, many of their creations were erroneously attributed to Sérgio Rodrigues, attesting to the exceptional quality of their materials and finishes. Cantù left its mark alongside other great names in Brazilian design, becoming a benchmark of its time.
