About the Item
This set of two lightweight armchairs by José Zanine Caldas exemplifies his mastery of form and material. Constructed with two precision-cut plywood pieces screwed to the seat and back, the chairs feature wooden frames covered with no-sag springs and original plavinyl upholstery. The armrests are comfortably padded, while a wooden support stick reinforces the structure beneath the seat. Priced as a set, these chairs showcase minimal yet robust design, highlighting both the sculptural beauty and functionality of Brazilian mid-century craftsmanship. The possibility to reupholster the chairs allows for customisation to suit your personal style.
José Zanine Caldas (1919–2001) was a celebrated Brazilian architect and designer known for his innovative use of wood and dedication to sustainable design. Often working with humble materials and traditional techniques, Zanine blurred the boundaries between high design and vernacular construction. His works embody a deep respect for nature and craftsmanship, earning him a prominent place in the history of Brazilian modernism.
