About the Item
These sculptural “Ameba” armchairs by Novo Rumo embody the organic dynamism that defined the most experimental side of Brazilian mid-century design. Produced in the 1960s, the pair features a boldly contoured wooden shell that wraps around the seat in a continuous, fluid gesture — a silhouette that feels at once biomorphic and architectural.
The armchairs rest on discreet, inward-angled feet that create the impression of floating mass, while the generous seat and back cushions introduce softness and comfort within the carved, curvilinear frame. The expressive wood grain enhances the piece’s sensorial impact, echoing the naturalistic forms that inspired many designers of the period.
Rare as a matching pair, these armchairs exemplify Novo Rumo’s commitment to craftsmanship and experimentation, offering a striking combination of sculpture and functionality. They bring warmth, movement, and a distinctly Brazilian modernist identity to any interior.
