3 Lobby chairs

1960

A set of three modernist lounge chairs featuring bold geometric frames in black metal with curved, cantilevered forms. The seats and backrests are upholstered in dark vinyl with quilted padding, creating a striking contrast against the skeletal frame structure. These chairs exemplify mid-century modern design principles, combining functional minimalism with sculptural elegance. The sled-like base construction allows for a dynamic, forward-leaning posture that was innovative for lobby and waiting room furniture of the period. The ensemble demonstrates the intersection of industrial design and comfort, typical of Brazilian modernist furniture aesthetics.
