About
Celina Zylberberg, along with Sergio Rodrigues, ignited a modern furniture revolution in 1960s Brazil. A founder of Boa Vista tapestry, Celina's legacy spans decades.
Muniz Zylberberg, her son, sensed the modern furniture trend, transforming their textile factory into Celina Móveis e Decorações. Combining value and quality, Celina's furniture rivaled famous names like Tenreiro.
With stores in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Celina Decorações offered both standard and bespoke pieces. Expanding into office furniture and collaborating with hotels like Othon and Caesar Park, their influence grew.
Under the leadership of designers Muniz and Alexander Zylberberg, Celina remained a go-to choice for Rio de Janeiro's discerning elite.
