About the Item

Available today, this stunning pair of armchairs embodies the essence of Brazilian mid-century design, showcasing captivating beauty through exquisite wood craftsmanship and organic shapes. The armrests, featuring tilted architectural lines, add a visually striking element to their overall appearance. Additionally, the creative horizontal lines connecting to the backrest enhance both aesthetic appeal and structural support. The frame highlights the exceptional joinery skills of Rino Levi, showcasing his craftsmanship and architectural expertise. The rich wood color is beautifully complemented by light upholstery in premium bouclé fabric, covering the body of the armchairs and the three removable cushions. A matching sofa is available and sold separately. About the designer: Rino Levi (1901-1965) was a Brazilian architect who played a pivotal role in solidifying the mid-century Modernist movement in Brazilian architecture and design. Studying architecture in Milan and Rome, Levi brought an innovative approach to the movement, merging elegance with functionality. Levi advocated for simplicity, finding beauty in organic shapes and sculptural forms. His usage of traditional Brazilian wood further encapsulated the essence of Brazilian mid-century design. Levi's designs incorporated natural shapes and raw materials reflective of the contemporary movement and urban terrain. Inspired by the inherent beauty of Brazil, Levi introduced a distinct style loyal to Brazilian Modernism- one prevalent in both his architecture and furniture designs.
