Description

This pair of Brazilian modern armchairs, designed by Carlo Hauner and manufactured by Forma Móveis in 1955, is named "Concha" ("Shell" in Portuguese) due to their resemblance to an open seashell. These iconic armchairs feature an intricate and delicate steel frame with a curved off-white leather seat. The low and wide seats contribute to their comfort, while their sleek design allows them to seamlessly complement any home interior.

The chairs have been refinished, and the seats have been reupholstered to ensure they are in excellent condition, maintaining their timeless appeal and functionality.
