Description
An exceptional example of Brazilian Modernism from the 1950s, this sculptural sofa by Cimo embodies the restrained elegance, refined craftsmanship, and architectural clarity that defined the golden era of Brazilian furniture design. Expertly restored while preserving its original character, the piece balances warm organic materials with sophisticated upholstery, making it equally suited for collectible interiors and contemporary living spaces.
Its silhouette is defined by a beautifully floating backrest, elegantly suspended by three sculptural solid imbuia supports that flow seamlessly into the rear legs. This distinctive structural design creates a remarkable sense of lightness while showcasing the rich natural beauty of the wood. Every angle reveals thoughtful proportions and refined joinery, allowing the loveseat to function as a sculptural object within a room rather than simply a seating piece.
The frame has been professionally restored in solid imbuia, one of Brazil's most prized hardwoods, celebrated for its dramatic grain, rich chocolate and honey undertones, and exceptional durability. Finished in a soft satin sheen, the wood highlights its natural figuring while maintaining the understated elegance characteristic of mid-century Brazilian craftsmanship.
Newly upholstered in luxurious Champagne Camel Mohair, the sofa offers exceptional comfort while elevating its collectible appeal. The premium mohair velvet features a dense, short pile with a subtle natural luster that changes beautifully with the light. The warm camel tone complements the imbuia perfectly, creating a timeless palette that feels both sophisticated and inviting. Expert tailoring, softly rounded cushions, refined piping, and discreet blind tufting on the backrest preserve the minimalist aesthetic while adding gentle visual depth and comfort.
Generously proportioned yet visually light, the sofa is perfectly suited for refined living rooms, hotel lounges, libraries, primary suites, executive offices, or curated hospitality interiors. Its sculptural form allows it to float effortlessly within a space, making it particularly striking when viewed from every angle.
A rare and highly collectible example of Brazilian Mid-Century Modern design, this sofa reflects Cimo's remarkable ability to combine innovative engineering with timeless elegance—qualities that continue to define the finest examples of twentieth-century Brazilian furniture. -
