About the Item
Designed by renowned Portuguese architect José Cruz de Carvalho for Altamira in the 1960s, this elegant pair of armchairs exemplifies the quiet sophistication of mid-century Portuguese design, enriched with a subtle touch of streamline modernism. The frames are crafted from solid mutenye wood, showcasing warm tones and a beautifully refined grain.
The silhouette is defined by gently sweeping arms, softly contoured edges, and flowing lines that give the chairs a sculptural, almost aerodynamic presence. These fluid transitions reflect the influence of streamline aesthetics, adding a sense of movement and elegance to their otherwise minimalist form.
The wood has been carefully refinished, enhancing its natural depth, and the seats have been newly reupholstered in natural linen, offering a soft texture and a clean visual contrast that elevates the warmth of the wood.
Balancing comfort and refined proportion, these chairs represent the best of Altamira’s approach to modern living — combining architectural clarity with artisanal detail. In excellent vintage condition, they are ideal for interiors that value design heritage, timeless materials, and a sense of understated luxury.
