Abstract

This research deals with the discussions about the appropriation of the furniture called modern, from 1930 to 1955, from articles and advertising published in the illustrated magazines A Cigarra and O Cruzeiro, and in the architecture magazines Acrópole and A Casa. Using texts and images published by these journals, we have the purpose of presenting aesthetic and functional questions regarding the use of domestic furniture, including their arrangement in the home space. We analyze the social phenomenon of diffusion of modern furniture, bringing up the diversity of appropriations of modernist precepts and the constitution of related notions such as comfort, domesticity and decorative taste.
