Gokelaere & Robinson

Gokelaere & Robinson is an international gallery dedicated to the promotion of the great designers and architects of the 20th century. Born from the passion for design of Stanislas Gokelaere, the gallery maintains permanent exhibition spaces in Knokke, Belgium, and in Paris (8th arrondissement). Gokelaere & Robinson participates in several major art fairs worldwide, staging refined craftsmanship and timeless creations. Their robust exhibition program includes mainly Scandinavian, American, French, Brazilian and Italian designers from 1940’s to 1980’s. At the inaugural edition of Design Miami/ Paris, Gokelaere & Robinson will present a collection of carefully selected pieces of furniture designed by one of the greatest furniture designers in Brazil, Joaquim Tenreiro. Considered the founding father of the Brazilian modernist movement, Tenreiro’s creative work shows a perfect balance between modernism and traditional values as he is also a forerunner in the use of rediscovered raw local materials. As part of their selection, the gallery will present a beautiful and rare pair of armchairs created by Joaquim Tenreiro in the early 1960s. Exquisitely crafted, this timeless design combines simplicity and elegance. A testimony of refinement, those armchairs display a delicate and organic structure with beautifully sculpted arm and back rests.
