Brazilian Armchair with High Backrests by Giuseppe Scapinelli, 1950s, Midcentury
About the Item
This armchair in solid Caviuna with high backrests was designed by Giuseppe Scapinelli (1911-1982) in the 1950s. The piece has slatted backrests with thin vertical rods and comfortable upholstery with bespoke fabric in organic silk developed by Bossa Fabrics.
The furniture pieces the Italy-born Brazil-based artist, designer, architect, and businessman Scapinelli designed are remarkable. His pieces have smooth curves, thin legs, and delicate details: creations marked by an in-depth study of futuristic, organic lines and, at the same time, by reinterpretations of classic elements.
As described in Brazil's Casa e Jardim magazine at the time: "(He is) a classic who does not forget to be modern - or if you prefer - a modernist who does not forget to be classic".
The piece had the old varnish removed and received new layers of imported shellac. Our experienced upholsterer made a new upholstery in using historical references.

MP-71 Armchair with ottoman by Percival Lafer, 1970s, Brazilian Midcentury
By Percival Lafer
Located in New York, NY
In his designs, Percival Lafer sought ergonomy and comfort. The MP-71 armchair, from 1973/1974, is a derivative from MP-61 – his first piece with a visible fiberglass shell structure.
The MP-71 comprises a visible fiberglass shell that swives on a base also made of fiberglass. The upholstery follows the same principle as the MP-61, with laminated foam applied directly to the shell.
