'Tridente' Lounge Chair, by Móveis Drago, Brazilian Mid-Century Modern Design
About the Item
The "Tridente" lounge chair, designed by Moveis Drago, is a quintessential representation of Brazilian modernism from the 1950s. At a glance, its distinguishing feature is the trident-like wooden structure, which not only serves as an aesthetic focal point but also provides sturdy support for the chair. This unique design was, for years, mistakenly credited to the legendary Lina Bo Bardi, highlighting its significant status in the realm of iconic furniture designs.
Beyond its eye-catching form, the "Tridente" offers a practical twist: the ability to recline into a small bed. This functional transformation is seamlessly integrated into its design, ensuring that the chair retains its visual appeal in both configurations. The meticulous reupholstery work, encompassing both the exterior fabric and the inner structure, ensures a luxurious seating experience. This emphasis on comfort, combined with the chair's modernist design, makes it a sought-after collector's item.
In the realm of high-end Brazilian furniture, Moveis Drago's "Tridente" lounge chair stands as a testament to the innovative spirit and craftsmanship of the era. Its rarity and distinctive design make it not just a piece of furniture, but a conversation-starting work of art.

- Jorge Zalszupin's Presidential Lounge Chair, Brazilian Mid-Century Modern DesignBy Jorge ZalszupinLocated in Sao Paulo, SPThe "Presidencial" lounge lounge armchair is a true icon of Brazilian modern design, created by the legendary Polish-Brazilian architect and designer Jorge Zalszupin in the 1960s. This rare and coveted piece showcases the fusion of two cultures, with its base made of tubular steel and black lacquered metal slats, topped with Brazilian Jacaranda Rosewood veneers in an unusual bentwood design. Zalszupin's innovative use of molded laminate wood allowed him to create the curves he desired, without the need for costly manual processes. This resulted in a beautifully unique armchair, part of a series composed of a sofa and armchair, that has become a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts of Brazilian modern design. The lounge armchair's backrest is composed of profiled hardwood veneer slats, giving the piece a light and organic structure that elegantly accommodates voluminous cushions. Its "U" form seat rests on chrome-plated steel legs with tubular feet, while the armchair's rosewood-reinforced slat back adds a touch of elegance and sophistication. The Presidencial lounge chair is in very good vintage condition and has received new upholsteries in suede. Its sleek and modern design makes it a perfect addition to any space, whether in a home or office setting. While the armchair can be displayed without its original cushions, it also comes with a custom cushion for added comfort and style. Overall, the Presidencial armchair...Category
