Brazilian Seating
BRAZILIAN FURNITURE
More often than not, vintage mid-century Brazilian furniture designs, with their gleaming wood, soft leathers and inviting shapes, share a sensuous, unique quality that distinguishes them from the more rectilinear output of American and Scandinavian makers of the same era.
Commencing in the 1940s and '50s, a group of architects and designers transformed the local cultural landscape in Brazil, merging the modernist vernacular popular in Europe and the United States with the South American country's traditional techniques and indigenous materials.
Key mid-century influencers on Brazilian furniture design include natives Oscar Niemeyer, Sergio Rodrigues and José Zanine Caldas as well as such European immigrants as Joaquim Tenreiro, Jean Gillon and Jorge Zalszupin. These creators frequently collaborated; for instance, Niemeyer, an internationally acclaimed architect, commissioned many of them to furnish his residential and institutional buildings.
The popularity of Brazilian modern furniture has made household names of these designers and other greats. Their particular brand of modernism is characterized by an émigré point of view (some were Lithuanian, German, Polish, Ukrainian, Portuguese, and Italian), a preference for highly figured indigenous Brazilian woods, a reverence for nature as an inspiration and an atelier or small-production mentality.
Hallmarks of Brazilian mid-century design include smooth, sculptural forms and the use of native woods like rosewood, jacaranda and pequi. The work of designers today exhibits many of the same qualities, though with a marked interest in exploring new materials (witness the Campana Brothers' stuffed-animal chairs) and an emphasis on looking inward rather than to other countries for inspiration.

Pair of Teak and Linen Upholstered Dining Chairs with Thread Accent - Tress Line
By Uultis Design
Located in Miami, FL
Designed by esteemed Brazilian designer Sérgio Batista for Uultis, the Tress dining chair embodies a refined harmony of craftsmanship, comfort, and elegant form. This pair of chairs features a sculptural teak wood frame with a soft matte finish that subtly highlights the unique grain variations of the wood. Upholstered in a natural linen fabric, the chairs offer a tactile contrast between organic softness and warm, architectural woodwork.
The signature detail—a single thread accent at the backrest—adds a quiet note of distinction, subtly referencing the chair’s name. Built using multi-laminated sheets beneath high-resilience foam and upholstery, the Tress chair...

Pair of Teak and Light Beige Upholstered Dining Chairs with Thread - Tress Line
By Uultis Design
Located in Miami, FL
This pair of Tress dining chairs by Uultis embodies the refined design language of Sérgio Batista, a celebrated voice in contemporary Brazilian furniture. Crafted from solid teak with a soft matte finish, each chair showcases natural variations in the grain, enhancing its organic appeal. The light beige upholstery wraps the seat and backrest in understated elegance, while a distinctive single-thread detail along the back adds a tailored note that elevates the entire silhouette.
The backrest and seat are formed from multi-laminated sheets, layered with high-density foam and a high-quality textile for a seat that remains comfortable during long dinners or professional meetings. Batista’s use of sculptural curves—particularly in the legs and arms—ensures the chair reads as both sleek and grounded, offering visual lightness without sacrificing strength.
Equally suited to residential dining rooms or upscale commercial spaces, the Tress chair...
