This piece was created by the Brazilian designer Gustavo Bittencourt and manufactured at his atelier in Petrópolis, Brazil. Structured in ebonized wood, the Benjamim lounge chair features a continuous seat and backrest in hand-woven cane resting over a tubular metal x-base, with an accompanying ottoman in similar style. The simplicity of lines and shapes is notably present in the piece's profile, suggesting the minimalism of a mid-century modern piece with a contemporary take.
