The real designer of Brasilia
Oscar Niemeyer was not the designer of Brasilia furniture. He is an architect and is the designer of the City of Brasilia, capital of Brazil. At the same time as the city was taking shape the in house design team at Broyhill Furniture Industries, Lenoir, NC was inspired to design a furniture line that proved exceptionally popular and successful based entirely on some of the classical lines that Niemeyer created for the public buildings in Brasilia. And now you know the rest of the story. Art and Bonnie Friedman The Brasiliaconnection

Thanks for the correction.
I'd always just assumed that Niemeyer designed the furniture; guess I should have checked. Sorry, EamesJunkie.
