Brazilian Modern Armchairs in Hardwood and Boucle, Giuseppe Scapinelli, c. 1950
-
Description
Available today in NY, this Brazilian Modern Pair of Armchairs in Caviuna Wood & Boucle by Giuseppe Scapinelli, are stunning!
The frames of these two chairs are made with Caviuna hardwood and the seat and backrest is upholstered in a white boucle fabric. The seat and backrest are both curved and the armrests are sculpted. The wood has been refinished and the upholstery is new. The chairs are in excellent condition.
The vignette in the image showcases the armchair next to other Brazilian Modern icons from Jorge Zalszupin and Joaquim Tenreiro and the convo looks nothing less than spectacular.
A set like this will look incredible in any mid-century modern, contemporary, or even French farmhouse so if you are looking for THE set of armchairs, don't look further.
Giuseppe Scapinelli was an Italian-Brazilian furniture designer who worked primarily in the mid-20th century. He was known for his elegant and innovative designs, which often incorporated curved lines, tapered legs, and other elements that were ahead of their time.
Scapinelli's work was heavily influenced by the Art Deco and Bauhaus movements, as well as his own personal experiences as an immigrant to Brazil. He produced a wide range of furniture pieces, including chairs, tables, cabinets, and more.
His furniture was characterized by its sleek lines, minimalist aesthetic, and use of high-quality materials like exotic woods and brass. Scapinelli's designs were also notable for their attention to detail and commitment to quality, which made his pieces highly durable and long-lasting.
Today, his work is highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts around the world. Scapinelli passed away in 1985 at the age of 75 - More Information
