About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
Here is a Rio Chaise longue, an emblematic creation by the renowned Brazilian architect and designer Oscar Niemeyer. Designed in 1978, this piece perfectly illustrates the fusion between sculpture and functional furniture, characteristic of Brazilian modernism. Its sinuous silhouette and bold balance make it as much a work of art as a seat.
The structure of this chair is made of black lacquered wood, forming a continuous curve that serves as a rocking base. The seat is crafted from stretched rattan caning, offering both flexibility and support, while a cylindrical black leather headrest completes the ensemble for optimal comfort. The contrast between the deep black of the structure and the natural shade of the caning highlights the graphic elegance of the design.
This piece is presented in exceptional condition, faithful to its original design. The lacquer is uniform and the caning is intact, testifying to particular care and limited use. The structural and aesthetic integrity of the chair is fully preserved, making it a prime example for collectors.
As a centerpiece, the Rio Chaise longue harmoniously integrates into a Mid-Century Modern, Organic Modern, or minimalist interior. It will find its place in a living room, library, or office, where its sculptural presence can be fully appreciated.
