This sculptural, sleek armchair is made from Imbuia wood and reupholstered with a super soft, cushiony grey boucle fabric. Designed by Michael Arnault for his company Mobilia Contemporanea in the 1960s, it is surprisingly comfortable despite its stylish structure.

During Brazil's 1960s industrialization period, this model became popular, as shown by advertisements from that time. Its lasting appeal and ergonomic design make it a great addition to any space, combining mid-century style with practical comfort.
