About the Item

Available today, these pair of Armchairs made in Hardwood Suede designed by Giuseppe Scapinelli, in Brazil during the 1950s is nothing less than spectacular. This pair of armchairs designed by Giuseppe Scapinelli for Marguta (his own store) in the 50s feature a hardwood structure with four legs in lacquered tapered legs. The beige suede upholstery is new, soft and super comfortable. The upholstery pattern follows the same as the original one as is shown in the vintage publication showcased. While the manufacturing seal was under the original upholstery, we decided to keep it in a visible place and can be seen under the seat. While the set is a showstopper, the armchairs have a moderate size making them perfect for any kind of environment, from mid century, to modern or contemporary. About the designer: Giuseppe Scapinelli was an Italian-Brazilian furniture designer who worked primarily in the mid-20th century. He was known for his elegant and innovative designs, which often incorporated curved lines, tapered legs, and other elements that were ahead of their time. Scapinelli's work was heavily influenced by the Art Deco and Bauhaus movements, as well as his own personal experiences as an immigrant to Brazil. He produced a wide range of furniture pieces, including chairs, tables, cabinets, and more. His furniture was characterized by its sleek lines, minimalist aesthetic, and use of high-quality materials like exotic woods and brass. Scapinelli's designs were also notable for their attention to detail and commitment to quality, which made his pieces highly durable and long-lasting. Today, his work is highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts around the world. Scapinelli passed away in 1985 at the age of 75.
