    By Gelli Indústria de Móveis
    Located in Houston, TX
    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.
