Description

The model is named "Concha," which translates to "Shell" in Portuguese. These armchairs are crafted from hardwood and upholstered in gray velvet, supported by four delicate legs. The back of the chair, resembling a shell, curves gracefully into the armrests. What distinguishes these armchairs is Joaquim Tenreiro's iconic and beautifully designed aesthetic.

The furniture set photograph displays the armchairs alongside the matching "Concha" sofa (sold separately) and a Jean Gillon Rodeio coffee table.
