Description
Step into the world of luxury and style with the Cantu dining chairs, a true masterpiece born from the brilliant mind of Sergio Rodrigues and crafted by the renowned Oca in Brazil in 1958. These chairs aren't just seating; they're an experience; a nod to mid-century modern design with a Brazilian twist.

Imagine dining like a boss on these Cantu chairs, each boasting sculpted solid rosewood frames that are nothing short of breathtaking. The frames soar upward on the top sides, like the spires of a futuristic church designed by the architectural legend, Oscar Niemeyer. It's not just furniture; it's a piece of artistry that bridges the gap between past and present.

What truly sets these chairs apart is the original white leatherette (vegan leather) upholstery, a nod to sustainable values, offering you the height of comfort and style. The seating design is nothing short of innovative; it's like sitting in a chic sling, cradling you in comfort as you nibble your avocado toast and sip on cold brew.

Speaking of design legends, Sergio Rodrigues, the mastermind behind the Cantu chairs, isn't just any designer. He's a Brazilian design icon, known for revolutionizing the world of furniture design. The Cantu chairs, similar in styling to his award winning Mole and Sheriff sofa, capture the essence of Brazilian culture and aesthetics, echoing the same spirit as his contemporaries, Oscar Niemeyer and Percival Lafer.

Whether you're a design aficionado or a trendsetting maximalist with an eye for luxurious, sustainable living, the Cantu Dining Chairs are the perfect addition to your world. Elevate your dining experience, embrace the legacy of Sergio Rodrigues, and channel the vibes of Brazilian design icons like Niemeyer and Lafer in a way that only you can.

These chairs would look incredible in an any mid century modern, contemporary or Danish modern home. They would look excellent paired with a rosewood dining table, or even something a little more far-out like a sculptural Paul Evans brutalist table. Just stunning design.
