Ethnic Straw Armchair by Neca Abrantes – Brazilian Design with Indigenous Craft

About the Item

This rotating armchair by Neca Abrantes is a striking fusion of contemporary Brazilian design and indigenous handcrafted traditions. Known for her deep passion for native craftsmanship, Abrantes presents an ethnic reinterpretation of the classic armchair, incorporating natural buriti straw upholstery to celebrate Brazil’s artisanal heritage. The chair’s most distinctive feature—its 360-degree swivel base—adds a functional, modern twist to a piece rooted in tradition. The rotation enhances usability while offering a dynamic presence, making it suitable for living rooms, lounges, or curated design environments. Handcrafted with a strong emphasis on sustainability, texture, and cultural expression, the armchair showcases Abrantes’ unique vision and her refined use of raw materials. The natural buriti straw is carefully woven, creating rich surface depth and a tactile warmth that contrasts beautifully with the piece’s sleek, structural form. Ideal for collectors seeking rotating lounge chairs, ethnic modern furniture, or Brazilian artisan design, this piece is both sculptural and functional, bringing authenticity, movement, and contemporary artistry to any interior.
