About the Item
These sculptural armchairs are crafted from Brazilian Rosewood, also known as Jacaranda, and reupholstered in off-white chenille. The woodwork is spectacular and can be seen throughout the piece, but mostly in the arms and legs. The old Jacaranda features colorful veins that showcase the piece's age, as well as a sense of levity in its design. The wood was refinished, and besides the marks of age (which are minimal) the set is in excellent condition.
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.
