Description

This set of fourteen chairs was designed by Alexandre Rapoport in Brazil in the 1960s. The chairs are entirely made in Rosewood and have a seat and backrest in caning. Each chair is beautifully sculpted with a tall backrest and an inclined seat for comfort. The rosewood has been refinished and the caning is new.

The photos feature 8 chairs. The other 6 are under restoration. We'll be posting photos of the full set shortly.

The chairs can be purchased as a set or individually.
