Weinfeld’s furniture is characterized by clean, angular lines and natural materials, continuing the lineage of iconic Brazilian modern design and architecture. His Domino Storage for Geiger—spare, rectilinear forms reimagined with a playful yet graceful arrangement of quarter-turned wood fronts—was his first furniture collaboration with a North American company.
Over the course of his career, Weinfeld has been the recipient of numerous awards, and his work has been published widely in both Brazil and abroad, including multiple volumes dedicated exclusively to his work.
