Set of 2 Leather armchairs

1964

This pair of modernist armchairs from 1964 exemplifies mid-century design with their distinctive sculptural wooden frames and sumptuous cognac leather cushioning. Each chair features a bold geometric silhouette with clean lines and substantial proportions, supported by sturdy dark wood legs and frames. The deeply tufted leather upholstery provides both visual richness and tactile comfort, while the contrast between the warm leather and darker wood creates a striking aesthetic. The design reflects the Brazilian modernist movement's embrace of form, function, and natural materials. These iconic lounge chairs represent a significant period in furniture design when artisanal craftsmanship met contemporary sculptural principles.
