Telling the story of LinBrasil means retracing the trajectory of two exceptional personalities and their meeting: on the one hand Sergio Rodrigues, considered by art historians to be the man who brought Brazilian design into modernity, aligning it with the most advanced practices of European modernism without losing the characteristic freshness and immediacy of local tradition; on the other Gisèle Pereira Schwartsburd, coming from a family of furniture entrepreneurs but entirely dedicated in the first part of her life to arts such as dance and theatre, who since 2001 has decided to dedicate her efforts to giving new life to the productions of the great master.

Therefore, LinBrasil can be considered the ideal heir of OCA, founded in 1955 by Rodrigues himself to produce and distribute his creations on a small scale. The creations of the OCA had the merit of intercepting the social changes taking place in Brazil, a lively theater of cultural ferment that gave rise to musical currents such as Bossa Nova and artistic phenomena such as Cinema Novo, expressions of a bourgeoisie anxious to detach itself from the past and embrace more informal lifestyles and expressions. An informality perfectly embodied by the furniture of Sergio Rodrigues and in particular by his seats, chairs and armchairs which broke with the rigid classicist tradition allowing you to abandon your body to absolute comfort.
