ALCANTARA, Wiara Rosa Rios. Eduardo Waller & Comp: the emergence of the school furniture industry in São Paulo (1895-1924). Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2022, vol.21, e138.  Epub 13-Sep-2022. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v21-2022-138.

The aim of this article is to deal with the emergence of the school furniture industry in São Paulo. For that, I approach the case of the company Eduardo Waller & Comp. From the analysis of purchase notes, photographs, patent application descriptive memorial and respective design, asset inventories, among others, I discuss the constitution and performance of the company, the manufactured portfolio models and its commercial relations with educational institutions. Tracking down the trail of companies helps to understand a set of economic relations involved in the process of expansion of public, compulsory and mass schools, between the years of 1895 and 1924.

Palabras clave : School industry; School desk; Material culture.
