The iconic “Zig-Zag” armchair, designed in 1948 by Lina Bo Bardi in collaboration with Giancarlo Palanti.
Crafted with a solid cabreúva wood structure and a soleta leather seat, the piece exemplifies the early experimentation of modern design in Brazil. Its bold, angular silhouette reflects a structural approach in which form follows function, resulting in a design that is both expressive and rigorously constructed.
A landmark of Brazilian modernism, the Zig-Zag armchair embodies the pioneering spirit of its authors, uniting architectural thinking, material honesty, and timeless innovation.
