Beautiful set of chairs crafted in cabreúva wood with leather seats, designed by Joaquim Tenreiro, one of the pioneers of Brazilian modernism.
Elegant and finely balanced, the chairs reflect Tenreiro’s distinctive design language, characterized by slender structures, precise craftsmanship, and the thoughtful use of noble Brazilian woods. The combination of cabreúva and leather creates a refined dialogue between material richness and visual lightness, resulting in a set that is both comfortable and architecturally sophisticated.
A central figure in the development of modern furniture in Brazil, Joaquim Tenreiro played a decisive role in transforming the country’s design culture. Rejecting the heavy ornamentation of earlier styles, he introduced lighter proportions, refined joinery, and a deep appreciation for the natural qualities of Brazilian woods. Through this approach, Tenreiro helped establish the foundations of Brazilian modern design, combining artisanal mastery with a modern architectural sensibility.
