  • Pair of 'Ouro Preto' Lounge Chairs, Jorge Zalszupin, Brazilian MidCentury Modern
    By Jorge Zalszupin
    Located in Sao Paulo, SP
    The Ouro Preto lounge chair, designed by Jorge Zalszupin, is a fine representation of Brazilian mid-century modern design, a movement that embraces simplicity, integration with nature, and an affinity for organic shapes and materials. This period in Brazilian design was marked by an innovative fusion of modernist principles with a distinctly Brazilian sensibility, characterized by the use of local materials and a harmonious connection to the surrounding environment. Zalszupin’s design philosophy is evident in the Ouro Preto Lounge Chair’s embrace of Brazil’s rich natural resources, particularly its wood. The chair’s frame is typically crafted from native Brazilian hardwoods, which are known for their durability and beautiful grain. The wood is finished to highlight its natural beauty, with a smooth, polished appearance that enhances the chair's sleek, angular lines. The Ouro Preto chair features a solid, rectangular frame that serves as a foundation for the seat and backrest, creating a geometric profile that is both striking and structurally sound. The armrests are notable for their spherical wooden accents, which add a sculptural element to the design. These wooden spheres serve as a visual and tactile contrast to the straight lines of the frame, illustrating Zalszupin's attention to detail and his ability to blend form and function. The seat and backrest of the chair are upholstered in a plush fabric, often in rich, earthy tones that complement the wood. The upholstery is not only comfortable but also features tufting or stitching that creates a grid-like pattern, adding depth and interest to the design. This element of texture is a subtle nod to the modernist penchant for incorporating geometric forms and patterns into design. Another hallmark of the Ouro Preto Lounge Chair is its low-slung profile, a characteristic of mid-century modern furniture that encourages relaxation and casual living. The chair’s design is not just about aesthetics; it also prioritizes comfort, with a slightly reclined backrest and generous cushioning that invites one to sit back and unwind. In sum, Jorge Zalszupin’s Ouro Preto...

  • Jorge Zalszupin's Presidential Lounge Chair, Brazilian Mid-Century Modern Design
    By Jorge Zalszupin
    Located in Sao Paulo, SP
    The "Presidencial" lounge lounge armchair is a true icon of Brazilian modern design, created by the legendary Polish-Brazilian architect and designer Jorge Zalszupin in the 1960s. This rare and coveted piece showcases the fusion of two cultures, with its base made of tubular steel and black lacquered metal slats, topped with Brazilian Jacaranda Rosewood veneers in an unusual bentwood design. Zalszupin's innovative use of molded laminate wood allowed him to create the curves he desired, without the need for costly manual processes. This resulted in a beautifully unique armchair, part of a series composed of a sofa and armchair, that has become a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts of Brazilian modern design. The lounge armchair's backrest is composed of profiled hardwood veneer slats, giving the piece a light and organic structure that elegantly accommodates voluminous cushions. Its "U" form seat rests on chrome-plated steel legs with tubular feet, while the armchair's rosewood-reinforced slat back adds a touch of elegance and sophistication. The Presidencial lounge chair is in very good vintage condition and has received new upholsteries in suede. Its sleek and modern design makes it a perfect addition to any space, whether in a home or office setting. While the armchair can be displayed without its original cushions, it also comes with a custom cushion for added comfort and style. Overall, the Presidencial armchair...
