Michel Arnoult Leather + Imbuia Pair Chairs (Brazil)
About the Item
Pair of "Peglev" armchairs by Michel Arnoult, c. 1950s.
Born in Paris, Arnoult helped to pioneer the ready-to-assemble furniture movement in Brazil, leaving behind a legacy as a design icon. His pieces reflect his eternal search for the minimization of production costs and industrial processes, offering quality, and easy-to-assemble furniture. His attention to materiality, comfort, and simple, elegant lines are his legacy.
This particular pair of sling chairs is most likely constructed of Brazilian imbuia hardwood, or Brazilian walnut, a wood typically found in Arnoult's furniture. The frames have been professionally restored while the original leather has been cleaned and conditioned, but allowed to remain full of age, use and patina.
The pair is fairly uncommon and a fine example of Arnault's work and of the period. They feel equally French Modernist, as they do Brazilian, and would be an excellent addition to a Coastal or Midcentury Modern interior.
