Puro Tropical Legacy - Veadeiros Chair

Felipe Rezende and Thales Polis founded Mobília Puro from a single conviction: furniture can carry cultural memory without being weighed down by it.

Rezende trained in Urbanism and Architecture at Mackenzie University in São Paulo, then spent a decade as creative director of his own studio before launching the brand. His lineage connects construction, music, and visual art across generations: a great-grandfather who conducted orchestras, a grandfather who built structures, an uncle who painted, a father who designed buildings. That context shaped a sensibility where construction logic and artistic instinct work in parallel.

Polis brings a different kind of attention to the partnership. A specialist in infectious diseases turned art collector, he travels across continents gathering cultural references that feed back into the studio's work. His perspective, formed by medicine's demand for precision and art's tolerance for ambiguity, gives the studio a curatorial dimension grounded in lived experience rather than trend.

The name is a statement of intent: pure furniture. Forms stripped of decoration, loaded with purpose. In a market dominated by European studios, Mobília Puro is a contemporary Brazilian design voice rooted in São Paulo's modernist architecture, tropicalist culture, and material craft tradition.

Their furniture is available on Monde Singulier as part of a curated selection of collectible design from emerging global studios.
