Pair of Lounge Chairs in Solid Brazilian Hardwood, Mid-Century Modern Design
About the Item
Meticulously crafted from solid Brazilian hardwood, these chairs exude an air of elegance and sophistication. Recently reupholstered in a stunning yellow fabric, they offer a vibrant pop of color that effortlessly revitalizes any interior.
With their modern aesthetic and almost sculptural form, these lounge chairs serve as eye-catching focal points in any space. The sleek, organic legs add a touch of fluidity and grace, complementing the overall design. The tropical hardwood used in their construction enhances their durability and lends a sense of exotic charm.
These chairs bear the mark of craftsmanship and heritage, with a connection to the renowned Liceu De Artes & Oficios. Established in 1873 by a group of elite coffee aristocrats, the institution initially aimed to train skilled labor for the potential industrialization of Brazil. However, within seven years, the institution transformed into a school of craftsmanship, focusing on design, casting, locksmithing, carpentry, and more.
During its golden years, the Liceu de Artes e Oficios became a hub for young Brazilian designers, manufacturing and commercializing exquisite furniture pieces. The pair of lounge chairs embodies the spirit of this era, showcasing the ingenuity and creativity of the craftsmen associated with the institution.
Not only do these chairs offer exceptional aesthetics, but they also prioritize comfort. Sink into their inviting seats and enjoy moments of relaxation and serenity. Their modern design seamlessly integrates with various interior styles, adding a touch of sophistication and personality to any setting.

Liceu de Artes e Ofícios
In 1873, a group of wealthy coffee merchants established the Liceu de Artes e Ofícios with the stated aim of supporting future industrialization efforts in Brazil. Seven years later, it became a fully integrated school. For over a century, it has trained the public in fields of agriculture, industry, trade, crafts, the arts and design, including furniture design, leading to the production of incredibly rare student-designed pieces still sought after today.
Borrowing its model from similar European institutions, the Liceu de Artes e Ofícios built upon methods and curricula popular at the time to instruct and train economically disadvantaged locals. In the hopes of making Brazil’s industries more competitive, the school involved eminent volunteers, including two of its directors, Brazilian architects Bettencourt da Silva and Ramos de Azevedo. At times, the school used its own exceptionally talented students as teachers when volunteers were scarce.
The Sociedade Propagadora das Belas Artes maintained the school in a building designed by Ramos in São Paulo. Ramos’s work also included notable buildings such as the Theatro Municipal de São Paulo and the Palácio das Indústrias. The school has provided furnishings for a range of hotels, like the Manaus Tropical Hotel, as well as the Cumbica International Airport.

Jorge Zalszupin's Presidential Lounge Chair, Brazilian Mid-Century Modern Design
By Jorge Zalszupin
Located in Sao Paulo, SP
The "Presidencial" lounge lounge armchair is a true icon of Brazilian modern design, created by the legendary Polish-Brazilian architect and designer Jorge Zalszupin in the 1960s. This rare and coveted piece showcases the fusion of two cultures, with its base made of tubular steel and black lacquered metal slats, topped with Brazilian Jacaranda Rosewood veneers in an unusual bentwood design.
Zalszupin's innovative use of molded laminate wood allowed him to create the curves he desired, without the need for costly manual processes. This resulted in a beautifully unique armchair, part of a series composed of a sofa and armchair, that has become a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts of Brazilian modern design.
The lounge armchair's backrest is composed of profiled hardwood veneer slats, giving the piece a light and organic structure that elegantly accommodates voluminous cushions. Its "U" form seat rests on chrome-plated steel legs with tubular feet, while the armchair's rosewood-reinforced slat back adds a touch of elegance and sophistication.
The Presidencial lounge chair is in very good vintage condition and has received new upholsteries in suede. Its sleek and modern design makes it a perfect addition to any space, whether in a home or office setting. While the armchair can be displayed without its original cushions, it also comes with a custom cushion for added comfort and style.
Overall, the Presidencial armchair...
