Mid-Century Modern Armchair in Hardwood & Beige Linen by Celina, 1960, Brazil

About the Item

Available today, this Brazilian Modern Armchair in Hardwood & Beige Linen by Celina Decoracoes, is simply exquisite! This mid-century gem is made in Brazilian Rosewood (as known as Jacaranda) and has loose re-upholstered cushions. The top cushion has been upholstered with the actual 1960s fabric (What a treat!). The armrests have a rectangular design that favors the visualization of the wood veins, with upholstered sides. The base consists of four rectangular legs, also in Jacaranda This Brazilian Modern gem has all the fun aspects of a true bold Brazilian Modern piece: Clean and straight lines, exuberant Brazilian Jacaranda and is extremely comfortable. An armchair like these flexes into any Mid-Century Modern, Modern or Contemporary, Transitional, or even Hollywood Regency environment. Celina Decoracoes was created in 1951 when Munis Zilberberg took over the family business - a small upholstery workshop that worked on refurbishing sofa beds and antique furniture. The name is a tribute to her mother, Celina Zilberberg. Celina Decorações embraced the term "interior architecture" and proposed complete ambiances to the public using the company's furniture, appropriating the mass communication vehicles to launch itself. About Brazilian rosewood, also called Jacaranda, is perhaps one of the most beautiful woods in the world. It is regarded as one of the finest tone woods; hard, stiff, and highly resonant with a glass-like ring that sustains; it has a floral scent, like roses, thus the name. However, extensive overlogging over the past three centuries has virtually eliminated this tree from the Brazilian forests, so that today it is not supposed to be logged. The only Material that can be sold legally is old stock. By owning a vintage piece made of old Jacaranda, you’re not only getting a beautiful collectible but also helping this species to recuperate. The last images are vintage publications from Casa e Jardim magazine publications from the 1960s Dimensions: H72, W84, D86 (cm) H28.3, W33.1, D33.9 (in).
