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.
