About the Item
This pair of Brutalist chairs from Portugal, dating to the 1970s, is crafted from solid pine with a bold, hand-carved aesthetic. The chairs are composed of turned cylindrical elements arranged into a striking sculptural structure, with semicircular backrests that give them a distinctive architectural presence. Their design reflects the Brutalist ethos—raw materiality, geometric strength, and sculptural rhythm—while maintaining the warmth and texture of pine wood.
The construction emphasizes repetition and pattern, with the legs and supports incised with regular grooves that give the chairs a totemic quality. The natural grain of the pine, enhanced by its warm finish, adds depth and richness to their appearance. Functional yet dramatic, they embody the experimental spirit of 1970s Portuguese furniture design, where traditional woodworking was transformed into bold, modernist forms.
Condition report: each chair retains its structural integrity and overall presence, but both show a small carved element missing at the base joinery (see photos). These are relatively discreet and do not affect stability.
Sculptural, rare, and collectible, these chairs are as much design objects as seating, perfect for interiors that embrace Brutalist, rustic, or avant-garde statements.
