Description

This very rare set of "Rodeio" lounge chairs, designed by Jean Gillon for Italma in the 1960s, features a structure made of solid jacaranda (Brazilian rosewood) with the characteristic tapered legs. The jacaranda has been refinished to reveal its beautiful patterns. The cushions are supported by new leather straps and have been reupholstered in black leather by one of Brazil’s finest upholsterers. These lounge chairs are not only strikingly beautiful but also exceptionally comfortable.
