About the Item

This mid-century lounge chair, designed by Italian-born Brazilian designer Giuseppe Scapinelli in the 1950s, exemplifies the bold yet elegant characteristics of his designs. Known for his sculptural approach to furniture, Scapinelli’s pieces stand out for their fluid lines, organic shapes, and sophisticated craftsmanship, and this lounge chair is no exception. The chair’s structure is crafted from a warm-toned hardwood, meticulously shaped into a frame that is both delicate and sturdy. The armrests are a standout feature, seamlessly extending from the legs in a continuous flow of graceful curves, reminiscent of Scapinelli’s distinctive style. The elegantly tapered legs, which give the chair a light and airy presence, are expertly positioned to provide balance and stability, ensuring both aesthetic beauty and functionality. Upholstered in a vibrant terracotta fabric, the chair offers a comfortable and inviting seating experience. The deep hue of the fabric creates a striking contrast against the natural wood, adding warmth and richness to the piece. The upholstery itself is textured, giving it a tactile quality that enhances the overall sensory experience of the chair. Its thickly padded seat and backrest are designed for relaxation, while maintaining the refined elegance that is characteristic of mid-century modernism. The chair’s design is a reflection of Scapinelli’s ability to fuse modernism with a touch of romanticism, evident in the soft curves and sensuous lines of the wooden frame. Every detail, from the sculpted armrests to the precise joinery, speaks to Scapinelli’s dedication to craftsmanship and his talent for creating furniture that is both functional and aesthetically engaging. Giuseppe Scapinelli played a pivotal role in shaping Brazilian modernist design, with his works standing out for their unique blend of modernity and artisanal craftsmanship. This lounge chair, with its harmonious balance of form and comfort, is a testament to Scapinelli’s enduring influence and his ability to create pieces that feel timeless yet distinctly of their era.
