Brasiliana Lounge Armchair

Jorge Zalszupin Brasiliana Lounge Armchair

Designer: Lounge chair in rosewood, suede upholstery and brass (1959) by Brazilian 

designer Jorge Zalszupin

Description:

Brazilian mid-century furniture is the hottest ticket in the collectible design marketplace. 

Modernist design principles—such as form follows functions, minimalist aesthetics, and 

honesty in materials—found fertile ground when transplanted from Europe to Brazil in 

the postwar years. Led by a small cadre of European émigrés in tandem with local 

practitioners, modernism took on a distinct, more relaxed and organic character in Brazil, 

inspired by vernacular forms and processes, native woods, and the tropical climate.

Feature:

Sinuous forms shape its wooden frame, reminiscent of Niemeyer’s signature curves, 

as do its impeccable craft details: wooden carved upholstery buttons, voluminous cushions, 

a bolster pillow and brass hardware; it is a mid•century classic
