Perfectly proportioned with subtle curved backrests, these chairs balance elegance, comfort, and visual lightness—hallmarks of Tenreiro’s modernist vision. Limited in production, this set exemplifies the timeless sophistication and artisanal mastery of one of Brazil’s most celebrated designers.
Tenreiro’s design philosophy emphasized harmony, proportion, and subtlety, and this set exemplifies these principles perfectly. The chairs are uniformly proportioned in width, depth, and seat height, creating a sense of symmetry and cohesion that elevates any interior space. Subtle curves in the backrests, virtually imperceptible from a frontal view, provide ergonomic comfort while maintaining an uncompromisingly clean aesthetic. This attention to detail ensures that each chair is as functional as it is visually striking, embodying a refined balance between practicality and artistry.
