About the Item

Carlo Fongaro Executive Desk Chair "Dinamarquesa" in Wood, Leather, and Chrome, Brazil, 1970s This striking "Dinamarquesa" executive chair by Italian-Brazilian architect Carlo Fongaro is an exceptional example of Brazilian modernist design from the 1970s. Manufactured by Probjeto, a renowned São Paulo-based firm known for its sophisticated and high-quality office furniture, this chair exemplifies Fongaro's signature fusion of architectural precision and sculptural elegance. The chair features a bold and ergonomic silhouette, with a laminated shell that gently curves to support the back and arms. The rich, warm tones and expressive grain of the wood are beautifully offset by the mint green leather upholstery, which has been expertly reupholstered to reflect the original aesthetic while enhancing comfort and longevity. The structure is supported by a black enameled steel base with chromed metal details, including dual chrome braces on the rear and polished fittings throughout. The five-star swivel base is mounted on castors, offering full mobility, while the adjustable height and reclining mechanism ensure both comfort and functionality. These features reflect the chair’s intended role as a luxury executive desk chair—ideal for those seeking to combine performance with design prestige. Fongaro, who was active in Brazil’s vibrant mid-century design movement, is celebrated for his contributions to corporate interiors and architectural furniture. This model, labeled and authenticated by Probjeto, is part of his rare and highly collectible output.
