About the Item
The chair designed by Michel Arnoult, a pivotal figure in the mid-20th-century Brazilian furniture movement, reflects the designer's commitment to practical, well-crafted, and accessible design. Arnoult was known for his pioneering work in flat-pack furniture, which allowed for efficient shipping and easy assembly by the consumer, influencing the broader furniture industry.
The chair has a minimalist and functional design, typical of Arnoult's work. It features a solid wood frame with a rich, dark stain that enhances the natural grain of the wood. The frame's straight lines and angles convey a sense of modern simplicity, while the use of wood nods to the warmth of traditional furniture.
Upholstered in a vibrant red-orange leather, the seat and backrest of the chair provide a comfortable and supportive sitting experience. The leather is tailored to fit the contours of the frame, with visible stitching and buttons that add texture and visual interest to the piece. The backrest is uniquely attached to the frame with metal rods, which not only secure it in place but also add an industrial touch to the otherwise organic design.
This chair have been designed to be both durable and stylish, suitable for everyday use. Its timeless design and high-quality materials mean that it would continue to be a valued piece for collectors and design enthusiasts alike, representing an important era in Brazilian design history.
About the designer:
Born in Paris, Michel Arnoult found his creative expression on the Brazilian scene. Today considered one of the great names representing design in the country, his pieces reflect his eternal search for the minimization of production costs and industrial processes, offering quality, cheap and easy-to-assemble furniture for the middle class at the time. His attention to wood materiality, comfort, and simple but very elegant lines can be recognized in his extensive legacy.
