About the Item

A superb exemplar of mid-century Brazilian craftsmanship, this armchair, attributed to Bertomeu and crafted in the 1960s, showcases a refined interplay between material richness and sculptural form. Its understated elegance is rooted in the purity of its design and the exceptional quality of its construction, embodying the timeless allure of Brazilian modernist aesthetics. The armchair’s structure is meticulously veneered in jacarandá, a prized tropical hardwood celebrated for its deep, luxurious grain and natural luster. The warm tones of the jacarandá veneer reveal dramatic patterns and subtle tonal variations, expertly highlighted by the smooth, hand-finished surface. The precision of the joinery and the gentle curvature along the backrest and sides reflect a masterful command of woodcraft, emphasizing clean lines and organic contours. The upholstered cushions, upholstered in a textured, neutral fabric, introduce a tactile softness that contrasts elegantly with the polished wooden frame. The generous, tufted back cushion exhibits deep, well-executed buttoning, contributing to both comfort and a distinctive mid-century visual language. The plush seat and armrest cushions are thoughtfully proportioned to offer ample support while maintaining a streamlined silhouette. Particularly noteworthy are the armchair’s tapered wooden legs, which are capped with delicate brass sabots, lending a subtle touch of sophistication and durability. This refined detail not only protects the legs but also imparts a graceful, slightly elevated stance to the piece, reinforcing its sense of lightness and poise. The armchair’s proportions—35.4 inches (90 cm) wide, 31.5 inches (80 cm) deep, and 26.8 inches (68 cm) high—make it ideally suited for both residential and commercial interiors, offering versatility without compromising on character. With its seamless fusion of luxurious materials, impeccable craftsmanship, and ergonomic comfort, this Bertomeu armchair stands as a quintessential piece of Brazilian modernist design. It embodies the elegance and restraint of the era, while offering an inviting, tactile appeal that remains highly relevant in contemporary interiors.
