Jorge Zalzupin. Trolley for tea, 1947.

The post-war modernism in its Brazilian interpretation is in the wake of trading in collector's design. An exhibition at the Paris Galerie Chastel-Maréchal on the rue Bonaparte confirms this interest.

Галерист Алин Шастель давно сконцентрирована на Mid-century modern — предметах 30-х, 50-х и 70-х . Так же как миланская галерея Нины Яшар Nilufar, нью-йоркская R & Company и римское предприятие Роберто Джустини и Стефано Стагетти — Giustini / Stagetti Galleria O. Roma, Алин Шастель раскручивает имена и находит роскошные вещи. Новая выставка охватывает период с 1950 по 1980 год — 21 предмет от семи дизайнеров.
