$12,500 · Sergio Rodrigues “Eleh” Coffee Table Bench in Brazilian Rosewood

An exceptionally rare and museum-worthy example of Brazilian modernism, this “Eleh” bench by Sergio Rodrigues is one of the most elusive and architecturally significant pieces from his oeuvre. Designed in the 1960s and crafted at the famed OCA workshop, this particular example bears the original branded OCA stamp — a nearly impossible-to-find detail that authenticates its early production and ties it directly to Rodrigues’ most influential period. Constructed entirely from old-growth Brazilian rosewood (Jacaranda), the bench displays extraordinary natural figuring across every surface. No stain or artificial finish has been used — the rich reddish-brown tones and intricate grain patterns are purely the work of nature, brought to life through careful restoration and conservation. The design is at once elemental and sculptural: a monolithic rectangular form supported by exposed vertical legs joined with oversized dowels and signature circular metal hardware. The proportions are bold and unapologetically modern, yet the craftsmanship remains deeply rooted in Brazil’s artisanal traditions. This piece serves equally as a functional bench or a dramatic coffee table, and anchors any space with architectural weight and authenticity.
