About the Item

Currently available for acquisition, these exquisite examples of Brazilian Mid-Century Modern , known as the "Gelli Armchairs," epitomize the ingenuity and design prowess of their era. Crafted from a harmonious fusion of hardwood and linen, these armchairs stand as a testament to the artistic vision of their time. The combination of Brazilian hardwood and gray linen creates a captivating aesthetic, while the seat and backrest are luxuriously enveloped in white suede. This particular model, aptly named "Canoa" (Canoe), draws inspiration from the distinctive canoes indigenous to the tropical rainforests of Brazil. Meticulously re-upholstered and with the wood refinished, this set of armchairs exhibits a remarkable state of preservation. The passage of time, evidenced by the subtle marks that adorn the surface, only enhances its character, further attesting to its authenticity. Both armchairs bear the manufacturer's plaque discreetly positioned beneath the seat and are sold as a cherished pair. These Brazilian Modern marvels effortlessly integrate into a variety of environments, from Mid-Century Modern and contemporary spaces to the boho chic or opulent Hollywood Regency-styled homes. The timeless allure of these pieces is demonstrated through vintage and contemporary publications, showcasing their enduring popularity across the years. "Gelli Móveis," recognized as the first furniture factory in Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro, made significant contributions to the rich history of Brazilian furniture. Since the final decade of the 19th century, their pieces have been produced on a large scale, adorning countless Brazilian households, thus cementing their place in the annals of furniture craftsmanship.
