Michel Arnoult Armchairs

Michel Arnoult was born in Paris and adopted Brazilian. He was recognized as one of the fathers of the Ready-To-Assemble furniture (RTA) and the flat-packaging. Arriving in Brazil early in the 50s, Arnoult made friends with the modern architect Oscar Niemeyer and the painter Cândido Portinari.

By Michel Arnoult

Located in New York, NY

These sleek armchairs in Imbuia wood and reupholstered lime green leather were designed by Michael Arnault in the 1960s. In spite of their light structure, these chairs are very comfortable. This lot belonged to our wood restorer Paulo. This model became quite popular during Brazil’s industrialization in the sixties, as shown on the ads of the time. What makes this set so special is the sculptural shape with a tall and slim backrest that also makes it so comfortable! A gorgeous set will look great in any mid-century styled home as well as modern, contemporary or eclectic environment. The set is showcased in our showroom next to a Joaquim Tenreiro sofa and an armchair, ottoman and coffee table by Jorge Zalzsupin and the convo looks nothing less than spectacular.
