Jean Gillon (1919-2007), born in Romania and naturalized in Brazilia, was a complex creator: architect, designer, and plastic artist.

In 1964 Gillon’s focus turned global, and he began expanding into the international market, exporting his products to twenty-two different countries. He collaborated with MTM – Indústria de Móveis Village, Italma, and Probel, which produced his designs. Imbuia or Brazilian walnut is an exotic tree that grows naturally in the subtropical montane Araucaria Angustifolia rain forests of southern Brazil and which is used for high-end furniture is very appreciated due to its beauty but also for its high density, being classified as a hardwood.
