Pair of Modern Lounge Armchairs in Imbuia Wood & Camel Mohair Velvet by Cimo

An exceptionally refined pair of Brazilian modern lounge armchairs produced by Cimo in the 1950s, showcasing the restrained elegance and sculptural simplicity that defined mid-century Brazilian design. Executed in richly toned imbuia wood, the chairs feature beautifully tapered legs, a floating backrest structure, and softly curved proportions that create an understated yet highly sophisticated silhouette.

Newly upholstered in a warm camel cotton mohair velvet, the chairs possess an inviting softness balanced by architectural precision. The upholstery subtly catches light with a gentle sheen, enhancing the depth and warmth of the material while complementing the dark organic character of the imbuia frames. Fine piping details further emphasize the clean lines and tailored construction.

The design feels remarkably current — equally suited for a collectible modernist interior, a refined West Village townhouse, or a luxurious contemporary apartment. Their compact proportions and sculptural profile make them highly versatile as occasional chairs, bedroom seating, or an intimate conversational pair.

An elegant and increasingly rare example of Brazilian mid-century craftsmanship from one of the country’s most important manufacturers.
