Pair of Brazilian Modern Armchairs in Pau Marfim and Olive Mohair, Brazil, 1960s

This exceptional pair of Brazilian Modern armchairs, crafted in Brazil during the 1960s, balances sculptural presence with enveloping comfort. Their generous proportions are shaped by gently flared backs, rounded arms and vertical channel detailing, creating a silhouette that feels both architectural and inviting.

The armchairs are upholstered in a richly nuanced olive mohair with warm bronze and golden undertones. The fabric’s dense, tactile pile catches and reflects the light, allowing the color to shift subtly from deep moss to luminous olive-gold depending on the viewing angle. Its restrained tonal pattern adds depth and movement without competing with the purity of the form. Soft to the touch yet exceptionally durable, the mohair brings warmth, sophistication and a distinctly luxurious character to the pair.

Tapered Pau Marfim legs visually lighten the substantial upholstered bodies while introducing a refined contrast of natural wood and plush textile. Broad seats, softly cushioned arms and carefully pitched backs provide a supportive, relaxed sitting experience.

Sophisticated yet comfortable, the armchairs embody the sensuality, material richness and effortless elegance associated with Brazilian mid-century design. Their distinctive color and confident proportions make them compelling statement pieces for both contemporary interiors and thoughtfully curated modernist collections.
