About the Item

This elegant set of armchairs was designed by Jorge Jabour Mauad and carefully crafted by Cantù Móveis e Interiores Ltda. in the 1960s. Each chair features a cubic frame made entirely of Brazilian Rosewood, paired with soft, creamy mohair upholstery. The arms, broader than the structure, add a sophisticated detail. The rosewood has been expertly refinished, highlighting its vivid veins and preserving its vintage marks, yet the armchairs are in excellent condition. The fabric upholstery has been recently replaced. Both functional and visually appealing, this set would complement any modern, mid-century, or contemporary space, offering a perfect mix of comfort and style. About the designer: Architects Jorge Jabour Mauad and Osires Cunha Meale were responsible for designing for Cantù Móveis e Interiores Ltda. This production represents a vast production of Brazilian furniture designed by architects and manufactured by small companies in the 1960s. The specialists were responsible for conducting studies and projects for interior installations, using Brazilian Rosewood, marbles, leathers, and national fabrics in its manufacture. The last image is a 1960’s product catalogue showcasing the piece.
