Mid-Century Modern Armchairs in Hardwood & Velvet by Giuseppe Scapinelli, Brazil
About the Item
This pair of two high back armchairs has the typical Scapinelli style with its delicate lines and soft sensual shapes. The chairs rest on straight tapered legs supporting the sophisticated Beige Velvet cushions. The chairs are both comfortable with their thick seats as well as aesthetically pleasing. These armchairs were purchased from a state sale in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
What makes this set so special is the tall and slim backrest that despite its size, the set looks sleek and elegant. The set is displayed in our showroom next to an also mid-century modern chest of drawers and the convo looks fabulous. A piece like this will look great in any mid-century modern collection as well as a modern or eclectic home.
About the author:
Giuseppe Scapinelli was an Italian-Brazilian furniture designer who worked primarily in the mid-20th century. He was known for his elegant and innovative designs, which often incorporated curved lines, tapered legs, and other elements that were ahead of their time.
Scapinelli's work was heavily influenced by the Art Deco and Bauhaus movements, as well as his own personal experiences as an immigrant to Brazil. He produced a wide range of furniture pieces, including chairs, tables, cabinets, and more.
His furniture was characterized by its sleek lines, minimalist aesthetic, and use of high-quality materials like exotic woods and brass. Scapinelli's designs were also notable for their attention to detail and commitment to quality, which made his pieces highly durable and long-lasting.
Today, his work is highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts around the world. Scapinelli passed away in 1985 at the age of 75.
