Armchair with Wood, Leather and Steel, by Carlo Fongaro, Brazilian Mid-Century
By Carlo Fongaro
Located in Sao Paulo, SP
This armchair designed by Carlo Fongaro is an exemplary piece of mid-20th-century Brazilian furniture design. The chair combines the use of wood and leather, materials commonly used in Brazilian furniture from that era, known for their durability and aesthetic appeal. The armchair has a distinctive modernist style, featuring sleek lines and an organic form that cradles the body. The wooden frame forms the armrests and a supporting back panel that provides structural integrity and visual warmth.
The chair is upholstered in high-quality leather, giving it its rich color and texture, while the cushions are tufted, which is not only a design feature but also serves to keep the padding in place, ensuring long-term comfort and durability.
The metal legs of the chair are slender and made of steel, a choice that reflects the era's fascination with new industrial materials and techniques. The use of metal gives the chair a lightweight appearance and complements the natural materials.
Carlo Fongaro's designs are not as widely recognized internationally as some of his Brazilian contemporaries like Oscar Niemeyer or the duo of Lina Bo Bardi and Giancarlo Palanti, but his work is appreciated for its craftsmanship and design within the canon of Brazilian modernist furniture...
