About the Item

Available today, this sculptural Mid-Century Modern four chair set in hardwood & blue fabric, designed in the fifties in Brazil is nothing less than spectacular! Each chair features a Brazilian rosewood (known as Jacaranda) structure with a tall backrest and four curved toothpick legs. The set has been reupholstered in a beautiful blue fabric that contrasts nicely with the wood. The wood has been refinished and besides minimal marks of age, the set looks stunning! The four delicate dining chairs are showcased in the gallery next to a Sergio Rodrigues vintage dining table, entirely made in rosewood also and the set looks stellar! This effortlessly sleek chair set can blend into almost any type of contemporary, Mid-Century Modern, boho chic, or modern environment. A beautiful set like this, will add a touch of Mid-Century Modern swagger to any home! Few contemporary and vintage publications showcasing the chairs are also attached. Giuseppe Scapinelli was born in 1891 in Modena, Italy, but like many of his Italian fellows, he crossed the ocean and immigrated to Brazil where he started a new life. An accomplished painter, ceramist, and sculptor, he began his career as a furniture designer in the early 1950s. Scapinelli was both a furniture maker and retailer in 1950s-1960s in São Paulo. His futuristic style is easily recognizable because of the curvy lines and soft shapes, inspired by the Italian design of the 1940s, a departure from the mainstream designs of his fellow retailers. His pieces are beautifully crafted in Brazilian traditional wood. He designed and produced many unique pieces for distinctive São Paulo homes. Scapinelli died in 1982. Size: H36.2, W17.7, D17.7 (in) H92, W45, D45 (cm).
