About the Item

This rare set of ten dining chairs, designed in the 1960s by Alexandre Rapoport, exemplifies the refined elegance and structural intelligence of Brazilian mid-century modern design. Crafted in richly figured Brazilian hardwood, the chairs feature sculptural, gently tapered frames paired with handwoven natural cane backs and seats, creating a balanced dialogue between solidity and lightness. The design is both architectural and restrained, with clean lines softened by subtle curves—hallmarks of Rapoport’s understated yet highly sophisticated approach. The caning introduces texture and transparency, allowing the chairs to feel visually light despite their robust construction, while the warm wood grain adds depth and character. The proportions are exceptionally well resolved, offering both comfort and timeless visual appeal, making the set suitable for expansive dining rooms, refined residential interiors, or curated design collections. Rapoport’s work remains comparatively under-recognized outside Brazil, yet pieces of this caliber reflect the same commitment to craftsmanship and modernist ideals seen in the era’s most celebrated designers. Sets of this scale and coherence are increasingly rare. Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The wood has been carefully refinished, preserving its original character and highlighting the natural grain. The cane seats and backs are new and in very good condition.
