Description

A striking pair of “Pollock” armchairs produced by Forma in the 1970s, reflecting Brazil’s embrace of international corporate modernism. With polished aluminum bases and generously upholstered seats in vibrant red-orange leather, these chairs embody the period’s confident dialogue between functionality and bold color.

Originally commissioned for the Bank of Brazil, each chair retains its patrimony plaque beneath the seat—an important institutional provenance that anchors the design within Brazil’s modern corporate history.

Soft cushioning ensures comfort, while the clean swivel base and streamlined form echo the influence of American executive seating reinterpreted through Brazilian production. A rare opportunity to acquire seating with documented governmental origin and enduring visual impact.
