Set of 4 Novo Rumo Dining Chairs in Brazilian Hardwood and Suede, Brazil, 1960s

About the Item

Set of 4 Novo Rumo Dining Chairs in Brazilian Hardwood and Suede, Brazil, 1960s This exquisite set of four dining chairs was crafted by Novo Rumo, a distinguished Brazilian design house of the mid-20th century. Created in the 1960s, these chairs exemplify the refined craftsmanship and bold modernist aesthetic that defined Brazilian design during this period. Each chair features a solid Brazilian hardwood frame, known for its durability and rich tonal variations. The linear structure is elegantly contrasted by the curved, ergonomic seat and backrest, offering both comfort and visual appeal. The reupholstered suede seats add a luxurious touch, enhancing the organic warmth of the wood. The upholstery follows the original design intention, preserving the authenticity of the piece while ensuring contemporary usability. Novo Rumo was renowned for its meticulous attention to materiality and proportion, and this set embodies those qualities perfectly. The slender yet sturdy frame is reinforced with cross-stretchers, providing stability while maintaining a light, airy presence. The gently curved seat shell, seamlessly integrated into the wooden structure, showcases an impeccable balance between form and function. With a width of 17.3 inches (44 cm), a depth of 20.9 inches (53 cm), and a height of 32.3 inches (82 cm), these chairs offer a compact yet comfortable seating solution, making them ideal for dining spaces or accent seating in a contemporary interior. The set has been carefully restored and reupholstered, ensuring excellent condition while respecting the original craftsmanship. These timeless chairs not only capture the essence of Brazilian modernism but also serve as a testament to the enduring appeal of mid-century design. A rare opportunity to own an iconic set from Novo Rumo, these chairs will elevate any interior with their understated elegance and historical significance.
