This incredible set of eight chairs designed by Geraldo de Barros (1923-1998) and manufactured by Unilabor has a frame in solid rosewood with cane backrests and seats.
In 1954, De Barros and a Dominican Priest founded a cooperative furniture design company called Unilabor. De Barros designed and projected furniture based on his constructive references related to Concrete Art.
The pieces designed by de Barros usually have a light structure in solid rosewood or iron, which became a characteristic of Unilabor's production, with fine shapes in its designs to use its materials better. The furniture was comfortable and elegant, reflecting in its structure the ingenuity of the author.
