About the Item

These beautiful and unique chairs are a distinctive piece of Brazilian mid-century furniture that showcases the special blend of material craftsmanship and design simplicity that was prevalent during the 20th century in Brazil. Even though the designer is unknown, the chair carries the hallmarks of the period's aesthetic and functional sensibilities. They are constructed with a solid wood frame, a native Brazilian hardwood, known for its durability and rich color. The wood appears to have a warm finish, bringing out the natural grain and adding to the chair's visual appeal. The design of the frame is utilitarian, featuring straight lines and angular connections, yet there is a subtle elegance in the simplicity of its form. Upholstered in a rich burgundy leather, the seat and backrest provide a striking contrast to the wooden frame. The leather is smooth and well-cared what shows high quality and craftsmanship. The seat is rounded and comfortable, while the backrest is slightly curved, providing ergonomic support. The chair's design includes interesting details, such as visible joinery and screws, which not only serve a functional purpose but also add to the overall aesthetic. These features indicate a design approach that values both form and function, as well as an honesty in construction where the means of assembly become part of the design itself.
