Mid-Century Modern Armchairs in Hardwood & Velvet by Giuseppe Scapinelli, Brazil

About the Item

This pair of two high back armchairs has the typical Scapinelli style with its delicate lines and soft sensual shapes. The chairs rest on straight tapered legs supporting the sophisticated Beige Velvet cushions. The chairs are both comfortable with their thick seats as well as aesthetically pleasing. These armchairs were purchased from a state sale in Sao Paulo, Brazil. What makes this set so special is the tall and slim backrest that despite its size, the set looks sleek and elegant. The set is displayed in our showroom next to an also mid-century modern chest of drawers and the convo looks fabulous. A piece like this will look great in any mid-century modern collection as well as a modern or eclectic home.
