About the Item

Armchair by Lina Bo Bardi in beautiful original vintage condition. With legs reminiscent of Pierre Jeanneret Knoll Scissor Chairs, however the support backing features round horizontal wood crossbars throughout. As seen in the 2014 exhibition by the Bardi Institute / Casa de Vidro celebrating Lina Bo Bardi's centenary. Lina Bo Bardi, an Italian architect who made Brazil her home, is celebrated for harnessing the social and cultural potential of architecture.. She had a deep respect for the "Hand of the Brazilian People," emphasizing a harmonious integration of indigenous and popular art forms into modern design. Lina championed the local crafts and embraced the rich, authentic expressions of Brazilian creativity. Her architectural designs and furniture pieces are revered for their innovative yet deeply rooted connections to Brazilian culture. She received the Special Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement award at the 2021 Venice Biennale in memoriam.
