Lounge Chair with Rounded Edges, by Giuseppe Scapinelli, Brazilian Mid-Century
About the Item
This elegant lounge chair, designed by Giuseppe Scapinelli, is an exquisite piece of modern furniture from the mid-20th century, showcasing the elegant intersection of fabric and wood. This armchair exemplifies Scapinelli's design ethos, which marries the organic forms characteristic of mid-century modern aesthetics with the rich textures and materials that highlight the era's innovative craftsmanship.
Upholstered in a soft, neutral-toned fabric, the chair invites a sense of warmth and comfort. The choice of fabric color complements the natural wood elements, making it versatile for various interior color palettes. The seat and back cushions are plush and inviting, promising comfort without sacrificing style.
The wooden elements of the chair, crafted from Brazilian hardwood, are sculpted with gentle, organic curves that are typical of Scapinelli's designs. The legs are splayed slightly, giving the chair both stability and a sense of openness. The wood's finish adds a subtle luster, enhancing the chair's overall elegance.
In keeping with the mid-century modern tradition, the design of the chair is both minimalist and functional, with an emphasis on clean lines and ergonomic form. It's a piece that would have appealed to the tastes of the era, combining the sleek, modern look with the comfort and practicality that homeowners sought.
Giuseppe Scapinelli's work is celebrated for its contribution to the modernist movement in furniture design, and this chair is a testament to his legacy—a blend of beauty, simplicity, and utility.
About the designer:
Giuseppe Scapinelli (1891-1982) was an Italian-born Brazilian furniture designer and artist known for his significant contributions to the Modernist movement in Brazil. Scapinelli's designs were characterized by their unique blend of Brazilian and Italian influences. He not only embraced the use of traditional Brazilian woods but also incorporated elements of Brazilian culture into his modern designs.
Scapinelli's designs stood out for their departure from the linear and rigid forms often associated with modernist designers. Instead, his furniture featured gentle curves, tapered edges, and organic forms, giving his pieces a distinctive character that set them apart.
Giuseppe Scapinelli's furniture designs continue to be celebrated for their timeless elegance, organic forms, and the fusion of Brazilian and Italian influences, making him an important figure in the history of Brazilian design
