Mid-Century 1950 Vintage José Zanine Caldas Lounge Chairs

About the Item

Caldas’ lounge chair is considered an important work in modern Brazilian furniture design history. The structure of the lounge chair is made of marine plywood, while in some instances can be ubiquitous, is used precisely for its benefits and characteristics – as it can be bent, shaped, curved, and formed, which allows this lounge chair to be made from a single cut – something wood like timber would not give. The braided leather molds itself to the body, distributing the weight to different elements. Literature: M.C. Loschiavo Dos Santos, L. Cavalcanti, A.P. de Carvalho et al., Olhares & R & Company (ed.), José Zanine Caldas, São Paulo, New York 2020, pp. 60-61, 84-85. M.C. Loschiavo dos Santos, Ed USP (ed.), Móvel Moderno no Brasil, São Paulo 1995, p. 106.
