Brazilian Modern Jangada Chair by Jean Gillon, Circa 1968

Creator: Jean Gillon
Offered by: Hobbs Modern

Description
The Jangada lounge armchair is one of the most important and unique pieces created by Jean Gillon. The chair's name, "Jangada," was named after the small rustic fishing boats used by fishermen along the northern coast of Brazil.

Owning a "Jangada '' lounge chair is not just about acquiring a beautiful piece of furniture; it's also about possessing a part of Brazilian design history and culture. This chair is a testament to Jean Gillon’s creativity and vision, and it would make an excellent addition to any interior space that values and appreciates the significance of this design.

Beyond its physical beauty and unique design, the "Jangada" lounge chair also embodies the Brazilian spirit, an specific aspect of Brazilian Modernism that can be seen in other brazilian icons like Sergio Rodrigues, the Tres Pies chair of Joaquim Tenreiro or the Canoa sofa of Liceu de Artes e Oficios.

Solid Iron wood with a leather seat and supporting net, this lounge chair truly is one of the most comfortable pieces you will sit in.

The price is set for as is. If you would like new upholstery, please inquire about pricing.
