Brazilian Modernist Dining Chairs, 1960s, Set of 5
Description
Brazilian Modernist dining chairs, wood and fabric, Brazil, 1960s, set of five
Defined by a strong architectural presence and an organic sense of balance, these Brazilian Modernist dining chairs from the 1960s embody the sculptural and material sensibility that defined Brazil’s design movement during the mid-century years.
Crafted in solid wood with visible, expressive grain patterns — characteristic of native hardwoods such as ipê, jacaranda, or peroba do campo — the chairs combine structural purity with a tactile warmth. The seats and backrests, upholstered in natural woven fabric, highlight the dialogue between form and texture, simplicity and comfort.
Their vertical back element, both functional and symbolic, recalls the constructive language seen in the works of Sergio Rodrigues, Joaquim Tenreiro, and Jorge Zalszupin, where architecture and furniture share the same sense of proportion and rhythm.
These chairs reflect the essence of Brazilian mid-century modern design: a synthesis of craftsmanship, tropical materials, and humanistic design thinking — where every detail serves both structure and beauty.
This piece reflects the broader ethos of Brazilian mid-century furniture design, where structure and surface merge into a single expressive gesture — an aesthetic born from craftsmanship, tropical materials, and a profound connection between design and architecture.
