About the Item

Beautiful sculptural B082 lounge chairs manufactured by Moveis Cimo in Brazil in 1960. These chairs are bulky and yet playful, with a strong wooden frame made of Jatoba wood. The frame is like a square, and at each corner, there are thin tapered legs that hold up the seat. On the front and back corners of the frame, there are shiny brass squares with a cross stamped in the brass hardware that adds a nice touch. The chairs are upholstered with a soft olive-green velvet which gives them the soft appearance. Right where the seat stops and the back begins, there's a nice wooden part in the middle. It's like a special touch that makes the chairs even more interesting and unusual. The stitching has nice detailing as well. These lounge chairs aren't just for sitting; they're like pieces of art where you can relax in. Matching sofa available in another listing. Cimo's story began in 1913 as a wood box factory called A.Ehrl e Cia. It transformed into a furniture factory named Móveis Cimo S.A. in 1982 after several changes. It became the most significant maker in Latin America, shaping the region's development and furniture manufacturing. The lounge chair, a creation of Móveis Cimo, stems from a Brazilian furniture factory established by Jorge Zipperer and Willy Jung in 1913 in Santa Catarina, Brazil. It grew to be the biggest furniture factory in Latin America from the 1930s to 1970s. The chair showcases the company's design philosophy, capturing Brazilian culture's essence with natural materials and organic shapes for distinctive and inventive furniture. Móveis Cimo's pieces are known for quality, lasting power, and timeless allure, and this lounge chair stands as proof of that tradition. Like all our upholstered pieces these can also be newly upholstered to your admiration. Ask our experienced upholstery department for an affordable quote for the item you want customised. We only use the best quality fabrics, foam, and materials for all our items.

Moveis Cimo

In its heyday, Móveis Cimo was the most prolific furniture manufacturer in Brazil. From humble beginnings, the company grew into a leading mid-century modern and modern design and production house. It made stylish and quality wood furniture like lounge chairs, coffee tables and buffets, which were made available to the average homeowner who wanted functional and attractive pieces.

Móveis Cimo was founded in 1921 by brothers Jorge and Martin Zipperer in the municipality of Rio Negrinho. Initially a chair company, Móveis Cimo quickly expanded its repertoire to include many types of furniture. At the time, there was a substantial gap in the Brazilian furniture market for quality furniture produced at an industrial scale for homes, schools, offices, cinemas and other public spaces.

Móveis Cimo filled this niche with simple but chic furniture that brought the latest styles to the masses. According to designer João Livoti, who spoke about the company to Gazeta do Povo, the brothers made frequent trips abroad to stay on top of post-war design trends. Comfort, ergonomics and the modern use of different shades of wood characterized the company’s furniture. Móveis Cimo was also the first company in Brazil to employ steam wood lamination techniques.

Jorge Zipperer died in 1944, just as the company was hitting its stride. From the 1940s to the 1960s, Móveis Cimo produced thousands of pieces of wood furniture for the Brazilian market. At the end of the 1960s, new wood fiber panel production methods shifted the furniture landscape in Brazil and introduced a host of new competitors. After Martin Zipperer died in 1971, the company began experimenting with new Dutch and French designs, although these were not widely popular.

Móveis Cimo closed its doors in 1982, but the company left behind a legacy of innovation that paved the way for future furniture makers. Today, Móveis Cimo furniture is collected worldwide as an inventive example of modern Brazilian furniture design.
