About the Item
The Paraty armchair is an emblematic expression of Zanine Caldas’ organic modernism — a language rooted in structure, honesty, and sensual materiality. Its sharply angled frame in pau marfim wood reveals a sculptural rhythm, while the upholstered seat and backrest lend warmth and comfort to the architectural rigor of the form. Conceived during the height of Brazilian modernism, the chair synthesizes Caldas’ dual training as a craftsman and designer, translating vernacular construction methods into a language of pure, modern poise.
