Rocking Armchair by +55design – Contemporary Brazilian Leather and Metal

About the Item

The Sela Floor Swing by Bruno de Carvalho is a striking example of contemporary Brazilian design rooted in regional craftsmanship and cultural memory. Inspired by the traditional saddlery of the gauchos—South America’s iconic horsemen—this piece brings a unique blend of elegance, functionality, and emotional storytelling to modern interiors. Handcrafted in Brazil, the armchair features premium natural leather and solid hardwood, materials carefully chosen to echo the durability and tactile richness of gaucho saddles. The design’s subtle curvature and gentle rocking motion are intentional: they evoke the rhythmic sway of horseback riding, creating an immersive experience of movement and nostalgia. Perfect for collectors and connoisseurs of South American design, handcrafted seating, and sculptural furniture, this piece transcends utility, standing as a tribute to heritage craftsmanship. Whether placed in a modernist living room, a rustic retreat, or a curated design gallery, this armchair offers a sophisticated yet soulful presence.
