About the Item

Available today, this Pair of Armchairs by Giuseppe Scapinelli, is nothing less than gorgeous! This exceptional set of armchairs is crafted from Caviuna hardwood and reupholstered in a light blue, super-soft boucle. The wooden rods elegantly hold the seating structure, evoking a sense of a living organism, typically of Scapinelli’s production in the 1950s. While the set is a showstopper, the armchairs are moderately large, making them perfect for any environment, from mid-century to modern or contemporary. About the designer: Giuseppe Scapinelli was an Italian-Brazilian furniture designer who worked primarily in the mid-20th century. He was known for his elegant and innovative designs, which often incorporated curved lines, tapered legs, and other elements that were ahead of their time. Scapinelli's work was heavily influenced by the Art Deco and Bauhaus movements, as well as his own personal experiences as an immigrant to Brazil. He produced a wide range of furniture pieces, including chairs, tables, cabinets, and more. His furniture was characterized by its sleek lines, minimalist aesthetic, and use of high-quality materials like exotic woods and brass. Scapinelli's designs were also notable for their attention to detail and commitment to quality, which made his pieces highly durable and long-lasting. Today, his work is highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts around the world. Scapinelli passed away in 1985 at the age of 75.
