Created by Brazilian designer Paulo Mendes da Rocha, winner of the 2006 Pritzker Architecture Prize, the Paulistano armchair is considered as a mythical object of contemporary design.

The constructivist concept of the structure, made up from a single bended steel bar, and its cover, made up of leather or cotton, procure to this armchair an esthetical lightness and an incomparable comfort.

Entirely made in stainless steel with its base consisting of a single steel rod bent and a wide, comfortable seat made of leather, it has aesthetic absolutely outstanding. This set is in its original condition. 

The Paulistano armchair is part of the permanent collection of the exhibits at the Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA).
