The grandson of a master mosaicist pays tribute to his heritage with a new furniture line.
一位馬賽克圖形設計大師的嫡孫，以一系列全新的家具作品向其家族傳承致敬。
Oscar Niemeyer , the Brazilian architect who died in 2012 just days before his 105th birthday, was one of the most influential figures in Modernist design. Many of his playful buildings were ravishing for one reason in particular: the mosaic murals designed by Niemeyer's childhood friend and collaborator Paulo Werneck. Werneck's grandson Gaspar Saldanha, who, along with his sister Claudia, manages his grandfather's archive, has teamed up with the Brazilian furniture company Etel on a new line of mosaic-topped tables and a credenza, some of which are exact replicas of pieces Werneck designed in the 1950s; others reinterpret the patterns that brought so much life and sensuality to public spaces in Brazil. “I pretty much spent my childhood in his atelier,” says Saldanha, who is producing many of the tabletops in the same workshop where the original murals were made.
2002年，現代主義設計領域最有影響力的一位人物——奧斯卡·尼邁耶(Oscar Niemeyer)，在他105歲生日前的幾天去世了。他設計的許多有趣的建築物都有個特別吸引人的地方：由尼邁耶的兒時朋友與合作夥伴保羅·韋爾內克(Paulo Werneck)所設計的馬賽克壁畫。韋爾內克的孫子加斯帕·沙爾丹哈(Gaspar Saldanha)同姐姐克勞迪婭(Claudia)一起管理爺爺的作品檔案。他已同一家巴西家具公司Etel合作，打造了一系列有馬賽克檯面的桌子及一個餐具櫃(credenza)，其中一些馬賽克圖案，就是韋爾內克在20世紀50年代的幾幅設計的原樣複製品；其它的，則重新詮釋了那些為巴西的公共空間帶來過生命力和感官享受的圖案。“我在他的畫室中度過了大部分童年時光，”沙爾丹哈說。他現在正在當初誕生了那些壁畫原作的同一間工作室裡，生產這些桌面中的許多品種。
