Product Description

The remarkable auditorium armchair, designed by the renowned Brazilian architect and designer Sérgio Rodrigues back in 1965, is a stunning representation of his exceptional talent for blending materials and proportions to produce a visually stunning and supremely comfortable piece. Initially crafted for Brazilian projects like Anhembi and Fapesp, this armchair is a true embodiment of mid-century Brazilian design finesse. Constructed using solid Freijó wood, the chair's structure has a timeless and elegant allure that is heightened by the sleek steel base. The seat and backrest, fashioned out of natural leather, are ingeniously conjoined by a steel mechanism that allows the chair to sway back and forth, introducing a fun and interactive element to its design. As one of the most influential and significant designers of his era, Sérgio Rodrigues played a crucial role in transforming Brazilian design into an internationally recognized movement, through his innovative use of tropical woods and creative techniques. His stunning designs, like this exceptional armchair, truly embody the essence of Brazilian design, boasting striking yet refined lines, ageless appeal, and unmatched craftsmanship. Rodrigues possessed a keen eye for detail and a unique approach to design that was driven by his deep comprehension of the materials he used and his ability to seamlessly meld form and function.
