About the Item

This sculptural 1950s armchair exemplifies the experimental energy of postwar Brazilian design, where industrial materials met organic form. A curved upholstered backrest hovers lightly above a generous circular seat, both supported by elegantly bent metal legs that recall the expressive minimalism of early modernist architecture. The contrast between the tactile warmth of the textile and the graphic rigor of the metal structure gives the piece a dynamic visual balance—simultaneously playful and architectural. Anonymous in authorship yet rich in character, it stands as a quiet testament to the ingenuity of Brazil’s mid-century ateliers.
