Mercado Moderno

Located in an old two-story house in Lapa, Rio de Janeiro, Mercado Moderno (MeMo) is a store-gallery dedicated to Brazilian design. Its main specialties are vintage design from the 1950s to 1980s, collecting incredible original pieces by designers such as Joaquim Tenreiro, Sérgio Rodrigues, and José Zanine Caldas, as well as the freshest Brazilian contemporary design art. Circulating among the gallery’s spaces, architects, interior designers, and collectors can appreciate unique furniture and objects. By organizing publications, talks, and exhibitions, MeMo also conducts extensive work to spread Brazilian design.
