These innovative furniture pieces were showcased at the Seattle World’s Fair in 1962 and in-turn inspired designs in many areas of art and commerce.

Some may assume that Brasilia pieces may not have value because they have been seen as mass-produced and common. But, the value of various Brasilia furniture pieces can vary, with prices rising for some markets. Smaller pieces can sell for under $500. Larger pieces like buffets, hutches, or dressers can venture as high around $1,000 or higher. We have even seen listings asking over $2,000 a piece! Today these Mid-century Modern pieces have gained notoriety with collectors for their unmistakable atomic-era aesthetics and sleek look.
