About the Item
Gil Borsoi, Brazilian Mid-Century, Pierre Frey, Rare, Contemporary, Collector's item, Sculptural Furniture
Brazilian mid-century design is considered the pinnacle of 20th-century furniture, celebrated for its bold forms, masterful craftsmanship, and use of luxurious materials. This rare Gil Borsoi lounge chair embodies that legacy, now thoughtfully restored and reupholstered in an ultra-soft Pierre Frey fabric that adds a contemporary edge.
The new round-back pillow is a key design update, giving the chairs a modern, sculptural feel while maintaining their original elegance. The rich texture of the upholstery enhances their organic lines, making them both a statement piece and a luxurious seating option.
Finding Brazilian mid-century pieces in such exceptional condition is incredibly rare, making this a true collector’s gem. A perfect fusion of heritage and modern refinement, these chairs are a must-have for discerning design enthusiasts.
This Gil Borsoi lounge chair is the perfect addition to a sophisticated, design-forward interior. Its blend of mid-century Brazilian craftsmanship and modern reupholstery makes it ideal for high-end residential, boutique hotels, or luxury retail spaces. The soft, sculptural lines pair beautifully with minimalist, organic modern, and contemporary interiors, adding both warmth and architectural interest. Whether placed in a chic living room, a statement reading nook, or a stylish hotel lounge, these rare chairs bring a sense of exclusivity and refined comfort to any space.
