Pair of Armchairs in Hardwood & Upholstered Fabric by Geraldo de Barros - Lot 73

A refined and expressive pair of Brazilian modern armchairs designed by Geraldo de Barros, dating to the 1970s. Executed in Brazilian rosewood veneer, the chairs present a robust yet balanced architectural structure, characteristic of the period’s emphasis on clarity of form and material honesty.
The generously proportioned cushions are upholstered in a lively checkered fabric palette of blue, gray, and white, introducing a subtle graphic rhythm that contrasts elegantly with the warmth of the wood frame. The low, grounded profile enhances comfort and encourages a relaxed seating posture, making the pair equally suitable for residential or curated commercial interiors.
Recently refinished, the rosewood surfaces reveal a smooth, well-preserved grain with a satin finish. The upholstery is clean and well-maintained. Minor age-related marks are consistent with vintage use and do not detract from the overall excellent condition of the set.
A distinctive example of Brazilian modern design from the late 20th century, these armchairs offer both visual character and everyday comfort.
