Vintage 'Mole' Rosewood Armchair with Ottoman by Sergio Rodrigues, 1957, Brazil
By Sergio Rodrigues
Located in Clifton, NJ
Sergio Rodrigues signature piece designed in 1957, the "Mole" Armchair – which means "soft" in Portuguese – is composed of a solid rounded Rosewood frame, adjustable leather support straps, and floppy, oversized luxurious leather cushions. Although it was not well received initially, Mole would soon become an icon, perhaps the most well-known piece of Brazilian design. In addition, its forms allow the user to shape the body anatomically when sitting in comfort. However, these characteristics do not define this piece itself but a key project of national design.
Robust and extremely comfortable, the Mole sparked an international design trend...

Mole Lounge Armchair, by Sergio Rodrigues in White Leather and Rosewood
By Sergio Rodrigues
Located in Houston, TX
The design originated with a 1957 commission for the photographer Otto Stupakoff, who asked Rodrigues for a "spread-out" sofa for his studio. The design sat in Rodrigues’ company Oca showroom window on the Praca General Osorio in Ipanema for years without many commissions or local interest until the chair was prized and subsequently manufactured in Italy for European consumption. It has become an icon of Brazilian modern design internationally due to winning first prize in the IV Concorso Internazionale del Mobile in Cantu, Italy in 1961, where Arne Jacobsen proclaimed it as communicating the unique characteristics of Brazilian culture. The structure of jacaranda is typical of Brazilian furniture since the colonial period, but the low-set, thick and sturdy quality gave it an authentically Brazilian character. The leather straps and buckles that form the sling under-structure are associated with the gaucho culture of the pampas in the southernmost region of the country. The overstuffed and tufted brown leather cushions suggest a relaxed and easy-going vibe, the attitude of the Cariocas, inhabitants of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Sergio Rodrigues believes that one of the reasons why the chair was awarded was because it was considered one of the first postmodern pieces of furniture. "There was a Brazilian accent. It was a piece that easily revealed where it had been made. It could only have come from a place where there was a lot of wood and leather. And there was a certain informality in the design," said Sergio in February 2006.

Brazilian Modern Armchairs in Chrome, Hardwood & Beige Fabric. Sergio Rodrigues
By Sergio Rodrigues
Located in New York, NY
Available today, the Brazilian Modern armchairs feature a chrome steel frame, beige fabric, and jacaranda hardwood (Brazilian rosewood) armrests. The armchair is a merge of sleek modernist elements and warm robust qualities. The armrests in Jacaranda not only showcase the piece’s age but makes the piece inviting and indeed, is a very comfortable armchair. The piece is in excellent condition.
This model is called "Beto" and the armchair was originally designed for the Palácio de Planalto (Brazilian presidential office) in Brasilia and this shows in the design of the piece that is both stately and comfortable.
This gorgeous set would look great in any Mid-Century Modern, modern, contemporary or boho chic environment and the iconic design and size will make of this coffee table an absolute must in everyone’s Mid-Century Modern century collection.
This Brazilian Modern gem belonged to a private residence at the Laranjeiras neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro. Sold as a set of 2
For the history buffs here, it goes…Sergio Rodrigues started working in the 1950s when the foundations of modern Brazilian architecture where already laid out, yet furniture design was still nascent. Rodrigues set himself to the task of designing furniture that was both truly Brazilian and modernist at the same time. Over the course of his career, he accomplished this task by defining a robust, modern, and pure language reflected in his work.
Dimensions: H78, W78, D75 (cm) H30.7, W30.7, D29.5 (inches).
