Brazilian Booty

Posted May 13, 2009

Not every Brazilian import need sport a bikini. This month, as part of its Destination: Brazil collection, the MoMA Design Store will offer some of the country’s best design specimens, many handmade by resourceful craftspeople. A rose brooch, for instance, is painstakingly constructed from the scales of an indigenous fish, and a stool made from native eucalyptus reinterprets the traditional perch of rural milkmaids. These and other bombshells are only available through June.
