About the Item

This rare 1950s sofa by Móveis Giacomelli captures the utilitarian elegance that defined much of Brazil’s early modern production. Characterized by a tubular metal frame and gently contoured seat, the piece achieves a balance between industrial rigor and domestic comfort. Its generous proportions and fabric upholstery evoke the pragmatic sophistication of mid-century interiors—where craftsmanship and functionality coexisted in harmonious restraint. With its sculptural stance and patinated surface, the sofa stands as a testament to the ingenuity of regional manufacturers who translated the international modernist vocabulary into a uniquely Brazilian idiom.
