Brazilian Modern Pair of Camel Mohair Club Chairs in Hardwood, Att. to Novo Rumo, Brazil, 1960s - Lot 919

Description

A striking pair of Brazilian Modern club chairs attributed to Novo Rumo, showcasing the refined architectural language that defined Brazilian design during the 1960s. Sculptural yet inviting, the chairs feature sharply tailored winged silhouettes, elegantly faceted arms, and beautifully tapered hardwood legs that lend a sense of lightness despite their generous proportions.

Recently upholstered in a luxurious camel mohair, the chairs possess a rich warmth that complements the organic character of the hardwood frames. The clean geometric lines, subtle angles, and sophisticated proportions reflect the uniquely Brazilian interpretation of Mid-Century Modernism—where European modernist influences merged with the country’s celebrated tradition of craftsmanship and material excellence.

Viewed from every angle, the design reveals thoughtful detailing. The dramatic rear profile features distinctive angular joinery and crisp upholstery lines, creating a sculptural presence well suited for both residential and professional interiors. Their versatile scale makes them ideal as a pair flanking a sofa, anchoring a conversation area, or serving as statement lounge chairs in a library, office, or primary suite.

Attributed to Novo Rumo, one of Brazil’s notable mid-century manufacturers, these chairs embody the period’s commitment to elegant proportions, handcrafted construction, and enduring comfort. The warm camel mohair upholstery enhances their timeless appeal while offering a sophisticated palette that integrates effortlessly into contemporary, modern, and collector-focused interiors.

An exceptional pair for collectors of Brazilian Modern design seeking pieces that balance architectural form, comfort, and lasting investment value.
