About the Item
This striking pair of armchairs was designed by renowned Portuguese designer José Cruz de Carvalho for Altamira in the 1960s. A testament to the elegant minimalism of mid-century modern design, these pieces feature beautifully restored frames in solid undianuno wood, showcasing clean lines and refined proportions characteristic of the era.
The rich, dark tones of the wood contrast beautifully with the black eco leather upholstery, which closely replicates the material used in the original production. This thoughtful choice stays true to the designer’s intent while offering a sleek, contemporary touch.
The gently curved arms flow seamlessly into the structure, emphasizing the sculptural quality of the design and ensuring both comfort and visual harmony. The eco leather not only respects the historical authenticity of the piece but also adds durability and practicality to its everyday use.
Meticulously restored and in excellent condition, these chairs reflect the innovative spirit of Altamira and the timeless vision of Cruz de Carvalho. Their quiet sophistication and sculptural form make them ideal for both modern and vintage-inspired interiors, functioning as iconic design statements as much as comfortable seating.
