Jean Gillon, Brazil
This lounge chair set by Jean Gillon is characterized by its powerful design and generous seating comfort. Upholstered in genuine leather, the two chairs display a vibrant patina that underscores their authentic vintage character. The low, wide silhouette lends a sense of calm and presence to any room, making the pair striking pieces of furniture with a distinctive appeal.
Jean Gillon was a Brazilian designer of Romanian origin who began his career as an architect and achieved international renown with his furniture designs. His work is characterized by the combination of leather with Brazilian rosewood. His designs are considered important examples of Brazilian modernism and are highly valued by collectors.
These chairs are characterized by soft, inviting upholstery and strong lines that give them both substance and elegance. The warm orange leather blends harmoniously into both modern and classic interiors. As a pair, the chairs appear particularly balanced and unfold their sculptural effect in living rooms, reading nooks, or open loft spaces.
The leather is cracked due to age. The armchairs can be reupholstered upon request. Reupholstering in new leather is available for an additional charge.
