Brazilian Modern Pair of Chaise Lounges in Hardwood & Fabric by Lucio Costa 1950
About the Item
Available today, with domestic shipping in NYC metro area included, This Brazilian Modern Set of Chaise Lounges in Hardwood & Fabric by Lucio Costa 1950 is nothing less than gorgeous!
These exceptionally rare and stunning chaise lounges were originally designed by Lucio Costa for the Friburgo Hotel in Rio de Janeiro state, located three hours away from the city of Rio de Janeiro. Lucio Costa, renowned as the urban planner behind Brasília (Brazil's new capital inaugurated in 1960), collaborated with architect Oscar Niemeyer and landscaper Burle Marx. Costa's foray into furniture design was limited, making this set particularly special and unique.
The wood of these chaise lounges has been meticulously restored and is in excellent condition, showcasing its original beauty. They are now upholstered in new outdoor fabric, enhancing their durability and suitability for contemporary use while preserving their historical significance.
About the designer:
Costa became a figure associated with reconciling traditional Brazilian forms and construction techniques with international modernism, particularly the work of Le Corbusier. His works include the Brazilian pavilion at the New York World's Fair of 1939 (designed with Oscar Niemeyer), the Parque Guinle residential complex in Rio de Janeiro of 1948, and the Hotel do Park São Clemente in Nova Friburgo of 1948. In the 1950s, Costa was invited to advise on the UNESCO building in Paris and to lecture at the Conference of Venice.
Among his major works are also the Ministry of Education and Health, in Rio (1936–43), designed with Niemeyer, Roberto Burle Marx, among others, and consulted by Le Corbusier, and the Pilot Plan of Brasília, a competition winner designed in 1957 and built mostly in 1958–1960.
Costa taught geometry and drawing at the Liceu de Artes e Ofícios of Rio de Janeiro from 1938–1954. The Liceu was affiliated with the Associação Académica de Coimbra where Costa also taught until 1966 and received a Medal of Merit from the Portuguese government.
