Jorge Zalszupin 'Senior' Armchairs, Brazil 1960s - 1970s (sold)
Designed between 1959-1969 by Jorge Zalszupin these 'Senior' chairs are simultaneously understated and elegant. The thin stainless steel legs that have been cleverly designed to carry all the weight, give the upholstered curved back and seat an almost floating appearance.
These chairs show everything that is good about Zalszupin’s designs, where geometric lines are often combined with organic shapes in well-defined proportions.
Time has been very gentle to these chairs. The upholstery that is most likely of a later date, has a slightly 'rough' appearance, which is particularly tasteful. Brazil, ca 1960 - 1970.
