“Cuiaba” Set of of 4 Chairs in Hardwood and Fabric by Sergio Rodrigues, 1970’s is nothing less than the find of the year!

The chairs have been restored and are in excellent condition. The frame of the chairs is made with Brazilian hardwood and the seat and backrest are made with fabric. The chairs have a very unique shape and look a lot different than traditional chairs. The base of the chairs is in a rectangular box shape and the backrest is angled back. The chairs are low which allows for a very comfortable seating. These chairs can be purchased with a dining table (Lot 478) that was also made by Sergio Rodrigues. The video showcases the incredible set.

The Cuiaba chair was designed with and without arms. Attached the page of Sergio Rodrigues catalogue featuring the Cuiaba chair with arms

Sergio Rodrigues was a Brazilian furniture designer and architect. Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1927, he studied architecture and worked in various design fields before founding his own furniture company in the 1950s.

Rodrigues was known for using traditional Brazilian materials like wood and leather in his furniture designs, which gave his pieces a distinctly Brazilian aesthetic. He also drew inspiration from Brazilian culture and history, incorporating elements like the curving lines of Brazilian architecture and the colors and patterns of indigenous art. Additionally, he often looked to the natural beauty of Brazil for inspiration, using organic shapes and textures in his designs. Overall, Rodrigues's work reflected his deep appreciation for his country's rich cultural heritage and unique artistic traditions.

Some of his most famous pieces include the Mole and the Oscar armchairs. Rodrigues's work helped to establish Brazilian modernism as a prominent design movement, and he continued to create innovative furniture designs throughout his career. He passed away in 2014 at the age of 86.
