Description
They were designed in the 1960’s and are called “Ouro Preto.” It is one of Arnoult’s most well-known designs and is made with imbuia wood. What makes these chairs so unique is that the backrest is made with nylon threads that keep the green fabric cushions in place. They also have a very slender and light frame, as the arms, body, and legs of the chair are very thin. Also, the green cushions complement the dark brown wood and makes it a perfect addition to any type of living space.
