About the Item
This "Scissors" chair, created by Brazilian designer José Zanine Caldas, embodies both the modern aesthetic and the ingenuity of Brazilian design. Made in the 1950s, this piece reflects Zanine Caldas' concern for harmony between design, function and comfort.
The "Scissors" chair is distinguished by its clean shape and timeless elegance. The bold and clean lines of the backrest and seat evoke a chisel, hence its name, and create a unique and distinctive aesthetic.
The original vinyl tapestry adds a touch of practicality to this chair while retaining its original appearance. The dimensions of the chair, 72 x 50 x 43 cm, make it ideal for a variety of spaces, whether it is a comfortable reading corner in a living room or a centerpiece in a design collection.

It is both a work of art and a functional piece of furniture, a perfect fusion of form and function that will not fail to arouse admiration in any interior. This piece represents the essence of modern Brazilian design and the lasting legacy of Zanine Caldas in the world of design.
