About the Item

A rare opportunity to acquire a pair of "Gaivota" seagull armchairs, produced by the Ricardo Fasanello Studio, in Rio de Janeiro Brazil. The bold lines, yet visually pleasing proportions, are a trademark of the late Ricardo Fasanello, one of the most innovative designers to come from Brazil. Chairs retain they're original buttery leather upholstery, most unusual color, putty grey with a pink hue. Extremely comfortable,, Extremely heavy,, Hand delivery avail to new York City or anywher en route from Buffalo NY Ricardo Fasanello was born in São Paulo in 1930 and began to demonstrate his talent at a young age, designing and building a sailboat at the age of 14, and at 18 he already built lofts of his own. Young Dandy, chasing emotion and speed, he almost lost his life after violently hitting his Porsche Spyder 550 on the road from São Paulo to Rio de Janeiro. After meeting his future wife, Countess Olivia Tarnowska, Ricardo slowed down and moved to a bohemian neighborhood in Rio. There he spent his days between his exotic pets and his passion for life, designing and building race cars. Functionality and use of handmade tools in the execution of an industrial design are the trademarks of Fasanello furniture. His work mixes unmistakable Brazilian aesthetics with cool sophistication.
