Taja, Espasso

Sergio Rodrigues’ iconic 1978 outdoor seating collection gets an eco-friendly update.

By

Sergio Rodrigues brought the vibrancy and color of Brazil to his furniture designs, including outdoor seating line Taja, which was first released in 1978. Overseen by the designer himself, Espasso is reissuing the collection with a sustainable twist: It is now made with FSC-certified Eucalyptus. The collection (shown) includes an armchair, dining chair, settee, and bar stool. Five colored lacquer and two wood finishes are available. espasso.com
