L'Atelier Commander Office Chair, Jorge Zalszupin, Brazil, 1972-1973

About the Item

Created by Jorge Zalszupin (1922-2020) and his design team, the Commander chair was designed to attend to the growing market for office furniture. The first model was developed between 1972 and 1973 and had casters; later, it gave rise to a variation with fixed feet. The seat and backs are composed of a single curved volume of fiberglass, where the synthetic black leather cushions with great original foam rest. The armrests and feet are in well-made cast aluminum pieces. Not only beautiful but well designed, this piece is also known for its comfort, with a reclining mechanism and a swivel base. L'atelier Móveis was founded in 1959, with the first collection focused on residential furniture. But soon, Zalszupin understood the potential of office furniture to produce on a large scale and used machinery and technology to achieve his bold ideas. Restoration and upholstery services by our Workshop are included as a courtesy.
