About the Item

A striking pair of “Novo Rumo” armchairs designed by Francesco Scapinelli, a distinguished Italian-born designer who became an essential figure in the Brazilian modernist movement. Crafted in solid jacarandá wood, these armchairs showcase Scapinelli’s refined sense of proportion and sculptural elegance. The design reveals his mastery in combining organic curves with precise craftsmanship — a hallmark of Brazilian modern furniture from the 1960s. The solid rosewood frames feature rich grain patterns and graceful lines that highlight both the warmth and sophistication of the material. The wood has been professionally restored, and the upholstery has been newly replaced in high-quality linen, enhancing the natural tone of the jacarandá while preserving the chairs’ original character and comfort. A remarkable example of mid-century Brazilian design, these chairs embody the harmony between European modernism and Brazilian artistry that defined Scapinelli’s work. All of our pieces are guaranteed authentic. We are proud members of the Brazilian Modern Design Guild, and each item in our collection undergoes a rigorous verification process to ensure originality and historical accuracy.
