Brazilian Rosewood Dining Chairs by Fatima Arquitetura Interiores 'FAI', 1960s

About the Item

This set of six Rosewood chairs was manufactured by Fatima Arquitetura Interiores (FAI) in the 1960s. These pieces called our attention for many design reasons. First, the combination between seat and back as a single cane volume. Second, the piece’s lightness, a characteristic found in the production of the master Joaquim Tenreiro. But differently than Tenreiro’s works, this chair does not propose a sculptural/structural challenge. Instead, it’s very orthogonal. Fatima Arquitetura Interiores (FAI) was created in 1960 by architects Guilherme Nunes and Sávio Visconti in Rio de Janeiro. The company intended to function as the union between architecture, decoration, and art, having a gallery space that housed artistic manifestations related to architecture. Sávio and Guilherme sought to move the local scene, and for that, it also promoted furniture design contests. FAI’s production featured furniture with straight lines and careful construction, using rosewood, leather, cotton fabrics, and cane as primary materials. These dining chairs was restored in our Workshop by experienced professionals.

  • Brazilian Modern Chairs in Hardwood & Cane by Alexandre Rapoport, 1960s, Brazil
    Located in New York, NY
    Available today, this pair of midcentury modern chairs made in Brazilian Rosewood, known as Jacaranda & Cane designed by Alexandre Rapoport in the 1960’s are gorgeous! The delicate set features a Rosewood structure with caning in the seat. The Brazilian Rosewood is nothing less than spectacular and displays vibrant wood veins that almost feel the chairs are alive! The pair is extremely light weight, as a result of the Jacaranda's aging process. Extensive logging has virtually eliminated Rosewood from the Brazilian forests, so that today it is not supposed to be logged. The only material that can be sold legally is old stock. By owning a vintage piece made of old Jacaranda, you’re not only getting a beautiful collectible but also helping this species to recuperate. This gorgeous set would look great in any mid century modern, modern, contemporary environment used as dining or accent chairs. About the author, Alexandre Rapoport (Rio de Janeiro, 1929) is a Brazilian painter, architect, draftsman and engraver. Self-taught of Russian origin, he began painting at the Faculty of Architecture before the end of the 1950s. He studied drawing with Ubi Paiva and, while a student, attended engraving classes by Raymundo Cella at the National School of Fine Arts; it was then that he participated in his first group exhibitions promoted by the Federal Government. He had contact with Cândido Portinari...
