Description

This pair of armchairs perfectly represents the Brazilian modernist movement and the architects hired to design and furnish Brazil’s new capital, Brasilia, in 1960. The armchairs belonged to Infraero, the government organization responsible for airports in Brazil. They are made with a caviuna hardwood frame and the seat and backrest is made with a beige faux leather. The seats are wide and the cushion on the backrest can be repositioned on an angle, which makes them very comfortable. The wood has been refinished and displays colorful veins, and besides the marks of age, the armchairs are in excellent condition. The manufacturing seal is located on the back of each chair as well.

About the Designer

Unknown Designer

This section focuses on the lesser-known treasures within Brazilian design, which have yet to receive the recognition they deserve from the public. Despite being overshadowed by the iconic designs of Joaquim Tenreiro, Carlo Hauner, Martin Eisler, Jorge Zalszupin and Sergio Rodrigues, these craftsmen and small manufacturers still managed to produce cutting-edge pieces that embodied the "modern values" of form and materiality.
