Creator: Jorge Zalszupin
Offered by: Herança Cultural Design Art Gallery

Description
This gorgeous "Lobby" lounge chair is a true masterpiece of mid-century Brazilian design, created by the renowned architect and designer Jorge Zalszupin in the 1970s. The chair's perfect proportions, along with its elegant and minimalistic design, make it a prime example of the artist's talent and skill. The chair's structure is made from a casting aluminum frame, which is painted in corten to give it a sleek and modern look. The chair's carefully crafted shape is a testament to Zalszupin's expertise in woodcraft and his attention to detail, both of which are hallmarks of his work.

Zalszupin's love of wood and his mastery of traditional craft techniques are evident in every aspect of the Lobby chair's design. The combination of geometric lines and organic shapes creates a sense of balance and harmony, and the use of high-quality materials only adds to the chair's appeal. Originally from Poland, Zalszupin moved to Brazil in the mid-20th century, where he was heavily influenced by the country's tropical climate and its rich cultural heritage. He quickly became a prominent figure in the Brazilian design scene, and his work is now celebrated around the world for its quality and originality.

The Lobby chair is not just a piece of furniture; it is a work of art that reflects the Brazilian spirit and Zalszupin's passion for his craft. Its elegant design and impeccable craftsmanship make it an excellent addition to any home or office, and a perfect showcase of the beauty and sophistication of mid-century Brazilian design.
