About the Item

Available today, this very unique chaise lounge was designed and executed by Pierre Weckxx in Brazil in the 1950s. The chaise boasts a structure entirely made in Caviuna wood, rope and one single  loose cushion tied to the wooden frame. The design has an aerodynamic look giving the perception of movement and levity. These and other of Pierre Weckxx works had this type of organic shapes typical of the Organic movement in Latin America in the 50’s The wood has been expertly refinished by one of Brazil’s finest wood restorers and is in excellent condition. The rope and loose cushion are new and very comfortable.  The last images feature vintage publications and showcase this beautiful piece.   Although not much is known about Pierre Weckxx and his contributions, he was an immigrant who arrived in Brazil in the early 1950s in search of better opportunities. His work has been showcased in numerous publications, especially in House and Garden Brazil during that decade. However, finding his pieces can be quite challenging. If you're in search of a unique treasure, look no further—this is it!
