MeMo - Mercado Moderno

One of the main design galleries in Brazil, Mercado Moderno has played a prominent role in the recent process of global appreciation of the Brazilian modern movement. Its foundation, in 2001, coincided with the moment when, after two decades of ostracism, a historical review of this rich production from the period between the 1940s and 1970s began in Brazil. A large part of its collection was acquired at auctions. of antiques. companies, in which few parts were specified and there were no value parameters. The undertaking involved arduous research work, in contact with designers, heirs and experts, offset by the amazement of discovering small treasures every day. This was – and still is – a routine for founding partners Rosana Vicente, Alberto Vicente and Marcelo Vasconcellos, on a journey that consolidated them as great experts in the national and international market.
