About the Item
A rare example of Lev Smarcevscki’s sculptural approach to functional design, this 1950s armchair exemplifies the experimental spirit of postwar Brazilian modernism. Its structure articulates a striking dialogue between tension and suspension: a lightweight metal frame supports a seat composed of taut rope and warm caviúna wood elements. The piece embodies both architectural precision and sensual restraint—its transparency of form revealing an intuitive understanding of proportion, comfort, and material honesty. Smarcevscki’s work stands as a bridge between artisanal craftsmanship and industrial modernity, emphasizing clarity of line and structural rhythm.
