“Habitat 70” Line, 1969

Household furniture.

To produce this line of wooden furniture for the home, the production capacity of Móveis Sousa Braga was associated with the marketing structures of Metalúrgica da Longra. A series of storage furniture, which was modulated and resulted from the combination of interchangeable elements, was created from scratch; the seating components were based on some previously designed models (Alvor, Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation), now adapted according to the new purposes: the expression of the structure was lightened, both by reducing the sections of the resistant elements and by using light coloured wood (beech).
