Brazilian Modernist Armchair in Black Leather and Solid Wood, 1970s

A Brazilian armchair from the 1970s, combining black leather with a robust solid wood structure. This project fits within the strongest vein of Brazilian modernism, where traditional craftsmanship and natural materials have been combined with the more imposing architectural forms that emerged in the 1960s and 1970s. Its exposed wooden structure and generous proportions also demonstrate an evident affinity with the brutalist furniture of the time. A striking example of the resolutely material-focused approach that characterizes post-war Brazilian furniture, where leather and solid wood constitute both the structure and visual identity of the piece.
