José Zanine Caldas Lounge Chair

Price on request

  • Historical Design
  • 1950s
  • Plywood, Leather

The structure of the lounge chair is made of marine plywood, which allows it to be made from a single cut, with an organic shape. It is considered an important piece in the history of Brazilian modern furniture design, and no longer a product with the ubiquity of plywood. The braided leather moulds itself to the body, distributing the weight to different elements.
