Jorge
This armchair is inspired by the iconic 1949 Brazilian design drawn by Jorge Zalszupin, who is considered to be one of the best modern Brazillian designers. Its creation deserves to be highlighted in any selection of the best chairs by Brazilian designers. The design of the armchair is delicate and harmonious, with front arms and feet that recall the columns of Oscar Niemeyer's Palácio da Alvorada. Born in Poland, Zalszupin moved to Brazil in 1949 to set up his design office and gained recognition thanks to his impeccable finish and complete understanding of modern designs, full of curves and lines, giving movement to the pieces.

Upholstered seat cushion
Cushions: Cotton/Polyester
Guajuvira (Patagonula americana) is a very durable and sturdy wood species with a distinct contrast of dark and light colouration that makes it the perfect choice for a wide variety of looks, whether that be rustic or high-end contemporary. Native to Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay, Guajuvira’s colouring consists of off-white to brown sapwood hues and shades of dark browns and almost black heartwood hues. Its grain is a mix of irregular patterns and straight grain with a satin smooth luster finish.
Each Guajuvira solid wood piece is distinctive with its own characteristics and imperfections. These unique imperfections bring out the inherent beauty in your piece. These natural traits set your product apart from other cookie cutter furnishing choices, and will quickly become a focal point of discussion in your home.
