Pair of Costela Armchairs in Hardwood & Boucle, Pallar, 1960s - Lot 607

Description

This beautiful pair of “Costela” armchairs were designed by Moveis Pallar in Brazil in the 1960s. 

The name "Costela", which translates as "Rib", is apparent in the design with its eight wooden slats that resemble a rib structure made with Brazilian hardwood. The slats are rhythmically positioned and curve upwards on the sides, gently embracing the softly padded cushions. A curved steel frame with short legs creates the necessary support. The comfortable cushions are reupholstered as historical references, tufted with buttons, and kept in place by tied strings at the back and bottom.

The pair has been expertly refinished and the upholstery is new and very comfortable .
