About the Item

Available today, with domestic shipping in the NYC metro area included, this Brazilian Modern Armchair in Hardwood, Black Leather & Metal, JD Moveis, c. 1950’s is nothing less than gorgeous! This gorgeous set of armchair with ottoman was designed by JD Moveis in the sixties decade in Brazil. The design consists of molded Brazilian rosewood (Jacaranda) outer shells, leather upholstery, and a chrome plated metal base. This piece was purchased from a private residence in Brasilia. The wood and metal are original and are in excellent condition. The leather has been reupholstered by Manuelzinho, our expert upholsterer who worked with Sergio Rodrigues in the 80s. This set is not only very comfortable but would elevate any interior with a touch of Brazilian mid-century sophistication. With its unique style and design, this brazilian mid-century armchair would make a striking addition to any home, blending functionality with artistic flair to create a focal point in any space. This armchair like this will look great in any type of environment, from mid-century to contemporary and modern design. About the Designer: Despite being overshadowed by the iconic designs of Joaquim Tenreiro, Carlo Hauner, Martin Eisler, Jorge Zalszupin, and Sergio Rodrigues, these craftsmen and small manufacturers like JD Movies still managed to produce cutting-edge pieces that embodied the "modern values" of form and materiality. Despite existing alongside their more famous counterparts, these high-quality pieces have often been overlooked or stifled by commercial interests.

Brazilian Modern “Jangada” Armchair & Stool in Hardwood & Leather, Jean Gillon
By Jean Gillon
Located in New York, NY
Available today, this Brazilian Modern “Jangada” lounge chair with stool in hardwood & leather by Jean Gillon designed in the 1960s is absolutely gorgeous! The chair's name, "Jangada," was named after the small rustic fishing boats used by fishermen along the northern coast of Brazil. The “purplish” tone of the wood chair contrasts nicely with the iconic caramel leather upholstery, adding to its luxurious and elegant appearance. The upholstery took three months to make and was done by some of the best upholsters in Rio de Janeiro following Gillon’s upholstery methodology (as is showcased in the vintage publications attached). Remains of the manufacturing seal can be seen in the wood base. The nets are new. Owning a "Jangada '' lounge chair is not just about acquiring a beautiful piece of furniture; it's also about possessing a part of Brazilian design history and culture. This chair is a testament to Jean Gillon’s creativity and vision, and it would make an excellent addition to any interior space that values and appreciates the significance of this design. Beyond its physical beauty and unique design, the "Jangada" lounge chair also embodies the Brazilian spirit, an specific aspect of Brazilian Modernism that can be seen in other brazilian icons like Sergio Rodrigues, the Tres Pies chair of Joaquim Tenreiro or the Canoa sofa of Liceu de Artes e Oficios. The gorgeous set is showcased in our showroom next to a Novo Rumo rosewood credenza, a bar cart designed by Geraldo de Barros and the convo looks nothing less than spectacular Size: H32.5, W36, D41.5, SH15.5 (in) H82.5, W91.4, D105.4, SH39.4 (cm) Jean Gillon is a Brazilian furniture designer born in Romania in 1919.
