Description

Brazilian modern 'curva' chairs by Joaquim Tenreiro, Brazil, 1960s. Would fit well in a Mid-Century Modern interior inspired by Brazilian designers such as Jorge Zalszupin, Sergio Rodrigues and Lina Bo Bardi. These elegant chairs show all the characteristics that Tenreiro's work is famous for; the use of beautiful Brazilian wood, balanced lining and shaping and execution with the greatest attention to detail. They are light in structure and weight and as beautiful in real life as on the pictures.
