GARCIA, Gecia Aline; SOUZA, Gizele de  y  CASTRO, Fátima Branco Godinho de. The artisan's gesture in the production of school furniture: Pedro Rispoli's furniture factory in the first decade of the 20th century. Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2024, vol.23, e2024-66.  Epub 17-Mar-2025. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v23-e2024-66.

The objective of this article is to investigate the production experiences present in the creation of school furniture in Paraná. Thus, the study begins with the work of Pedro Rispoli, an Italian immigrant who made furniture for public education in Paraná from 1904 onwards, and ends in 1909, a period in which his steam-powered factory - Mobiliário Artístico - gained national notoriety in the commercial and artistic scene. The repertoire of sources that make up this study is composed of iconographic documents; local and national newspapers; reports from government agents; government correspondence and minutes of the Museu Maçônico Paranaense. As theoretical contributions, we use Ulpiano T. Bezerra de Meneses (1994) to understand artifacts as vectors of relations, Inés Dussel (2019) to understand artifacts as active objects and providers of experiences in the social fabric, Richard Sennett (2020) on the notion of experience and craftsman in the process of making things, and Michel de Certeau (2014) to understand the historical operation and the “Arts of Making”.

Palabras clave : School material culture; School furniture; Paraná education; School material provision.
