Dry Bar Coated in Leather with 3 stools, by l'Atelier, Brazilian Mid-Century

About the Item

This dry bar with accompanying stools, a creation of the 1960s by l'Atelier, which was under the aegis of Jorge Zalszupin, is a distinguished example of mid-century Brazilian design. Zalszupin, known for his contribution to modern Brazilian architecture and design, imparts a sense of structural clarity and elegance in this piece, which is characteristic of his work. The bar is crafted with an astute selection of materials that are both robust and rich in texture. The steel frame provides a sleek and durable foundation, while the wooden elements introduce a warm, organic counterpoint. Coated in a supple, cream-colored leather, the bar exudes a luxurious feel that is inviting and sophisticated. The leather's soothing tonality complements the natural wood grain and the gleaming steel, creating a harmonious palette that is tranquil and refined. Architectural features are evident in the clean lines and geometric precision of the bar's design. The stools, with their minimalist steel frames and leather-covered seats, echo the bar's combination of materials and colors, maintaining the overall cohesiveness of the set. The footrests of the stools, featuring warm wood accents, mirror the bar's wooden elements, unifying the ensemble. This set stands out for its unique attributes - it is not merely a piece of furniture but a work of art that encapsulates the innovative spirit of 1960s Brazilian design. The careful balance of materials, the attention to detail, and the understated luxury of the leather finish make it a rare and desirable collectible. The beauty of this dry bar and stool set by l'Atelier lies not only in its physical appearance but also in its embodiment of a design philosophy that celebrates clean forms, functional beauty, and the harmonious blending of different materials. It is a testament to Jorge Zalszupin's vision and a tangible piece of Brazilian design history, offering not just utility but a statement of refined taste and cultural value.

  • Armchair with Wood, Leather and Steel, by Carlo Fongaro, Brazilian Mid-Century
    By Carlo Fongaro
    Located in Sao Paulo, SP
    This armchair designed by Carlo Fongaro is an exemplary piece of mid-20th-century Brazilian furniture design. The chair combines the use of wood and leather, materials commonly used in Brazilian furniture from that era, known for their durability and aesthetic appeal. The armchair has a distinctive modernist style, featuring sleek lines and an organic form that cradles the body. The wooden frame forms the armrests and a supporting back panel that provides structural integrity and visual warmth. The chair is upholstered in high-quality leather, giving it its rich color and texture, while the cushions are tufted, which is not only a design feature but also serves to keep the padding in place, ensuring long-term comfort and durability. The metal legs of the chair are slender and made of steel, a choice that reflects the era's fascination with new industrial materials and techniques. The use of metal gives the chair a lightweight appearance and complements the natural materials. Carlo Fongaro's designs are not as widely recognized internationally as some of his Brazilian contemporaries like Oscar Niemeyer or the duo of Lina Bo Bardi and Giancarlo Palanti, but his work is appreciated for its craftsmanship and design within the canon of Brazilian modernist furniture...
