About the Item

This chair is an exemplar of Brazilian design from the mid-20th century, attributed to the skilled yet underrecognized Carlo Fongaro. His work reflects the era's modernist tendencies, marrying traditional artisanship with contemporary design ethos. Crafted with a metallic framework, the chair stands as a testament to the juxtaposition of textures: the warmth of leather against the industrial chill of metal. The burgundy leather upholstery speaks of opulence, poised to command attention in any space it inhabits. Its modern silhouette is underscored by streamlined cleanliness and an embracing shape, marrying comfort with undeniable style. The leather's buttoned detailing pays homage to classic furniture designs, infusing the piece with refined grace. More than a mere seat, the chair is engineered for relaxation, featuring a broad base, a supportive backrest, and inviting armrests that extend with a welcoming gesture. The chrome-plated legs, slender and slightly flared, ensure a sturdy foundation while lending the design an airy, almost ethereal stance. This chair, characteristic of Fongaro's subtle genius, encapsulates the essence of mid-century modern design—where utility meets artistry. Although his name may not echo as loudly as some of his Brazilian contemporaries, Fongaro's contributions are woven deeply into the fabric of 20th-century Brazilian furniture design. This chair is a homage to that legacy, showcasing the elegance, meticulous craftsmanship, and innovative use of materials that define the period.
