About the Item
This exceptional Brazilian Modern case sofa by J.D. Móveis captures everything collectors love about the golden era of mid-century design in Brazil - architectural lines, sculptural presence, and that effortlessly cool “Rio-at-its-peak” sophistication. Designed and produced in the spirit of the 1950s–1970s Brazilian Modern movement, this piece feels right at home alongside icons from Sergio Rodrigues, Jorge Zalszupin, Percival Lafer, Willy Rizzo, and classic Italian and Scandinavian modern interiors, while still standing confidently on its own as a distinctive statement of South American craftsmanship.
The form on this J D Moveis three-seat couch is bold and graphic, with a clean modernist silhouette and a low, lounge-friendly profile that reads as both refined and inviting. The frame showcases strong, architectural proportions with an emphasis on horizontal lines and confident massing - exactly the kind of “furniture-as-architecture” aesthetic that made Brazilian Modernism so enduring. Upholstered in beautifully button tufted boucle fabric with deep buttoning and plush cushioning, the sofa offers a luxurious, sink-in comfort while maintaining a crisp, tailored look that works equally well in a curated collector’s living room, a gallery setting, or a dramatic office interior.
JD Moveis e Decoracoes is known for producing high-quality modern furniture during the peak decades of Brazilian design, and the included period advertisement wonderfully reinforces the brand’s history and cultural context making this not only a striking seating piece, but also a conversation-worthy collectible with real design pedigree. Whether styled as Mid-Century Modern, Brazilian Modern, Modernist, or even Hollywood Regency-adjacent due to its dramatic scale and presence, this sofa is a serious anchor piece with timeless appeal.
A strong choice for collectors seeking authentic Brazilian production, and an especially compelling alternative for those drawn to the iconic 'Franco', 'Tonico', 'Mole', 'Sheriff' and lounge models often associated with Sergio Rodrigues, but wanting something rarer and less commonly seen in the market today. Also fantastic alternative to the Milo Baughman Rosewood and Walnut case sofas. Cush, comfy and cozy - this is the perfect sofa to watch movies on, take a nap on, read a book on, or cuddle your dogs on.
