Armchair in Hardwood in Fabric, by Michel Arnoult, Brazilian Mid-Century Modern
About the Item
This stunning mid-century armchair, designed by Michel Arnoult, exemplifies the designer’s dedication to creating pieces that are both functional and visually striking. Known for his role in democratizing Brazilian modernist design, Arnoult’s philosophy centered on producing high-quality, affordable furniture with a keen eye on craftsmanship and comfort, and this armchair is a perfect manifestation of that ethos.
The frame of the chair is sculpted from rich hardwood, carefully polished to bring out the depth and warmth of the wood’s natural grain. The armrests curve gracefully from the back to the front, adding an organic elegance to the geometric structure of the chair. The craftsmanship is evident in the refined joinery and the seamless transitions between the different elements of the frame, showcasing Arnoult’s mastery in woodworking.
The chair’s seat and backrest are upholstered in a neutral, textured fabric that adds a soft contrast to the dark wood. The upholstery is tailored with precision, featuring subtle button-tufted details on the backrest that enhance the chair’s mid-century appeal while providing additional comfort. The fabric, with its light, natural tone, allows the chair to blend effortlessly into a variety of interiors while maintaining its distinct presence.
One of the most striking aspects of this chair is its ergonomic form, which offers both aesthetic beauty and comfort. The backrest is slightly angled, providing the perfect recline for relaxation, while the seat offers ample space and support. The clean lines of the frame, combined with the comfort of the upholstery, create a balance between modernity and timeless craftsmanship.
Michel Arnoult, a pioneer in Brazilian modernism, was known for designing furniture that was accessible, sustainable, and aesthetically refined. His work revolutionized the concept of furniture as a democratic and essential part of everyday life, and this armchair captures that vision. It is not only a beautiful piece of mid-century design but also a reflection of Arnoult’s enduring influence in the world of furniture design.
