About the Item

Mid-Century Armchair by Giuseppe Scapinelli in Bouclé and Leather Trim, Brazil, 1960s This elegant mid-century armchair by renowned Brazilian designer Giuseppe Scapinelli is a timeless example of 1960s modernist design. With its sculptural silhouette, solid wood tapered legs—commonly referred to as "palito" legs—and refined upholstery, the piece reflects Scapinelli’s masterful fusion of form, comfort, and architectural sophistication. Expertly upholstered in a textured off-white bouclé, the chair is elevated by its distinctive leather piping, which outlines the frame with tailored precision and highlights its modernist geometry. The interplay between the plush upholstery and the sleek leather detail creates a tactile and visual contrast that is both warm and contemporary. The slanted armrests and gently reclined back provide ergonomic comfort without sacrificing visual lightness, making it an ideal accent piece for modern and vintage-inspired interiors alike. Crafted circa 1960 in Brazil, this lounge chair embodies the hallmark traits of Scapinelli’s work: organic curves, sculptural balance, and the fine craftsmanship associated with mid-century Brazilian furniture. The solid wood palito legs lend a sense of airiness while showcasing the natural beauty of the wood grain, a testament to the artisanal quality of the era. Dimensions: Width: 31.5 in (80 cm) Depth: 31.5 in (80 cm) Height: 32.7 in (83 cm) In very good vintage condition with minor signs of wear consistent with age and use, this piece has been carefully reupholstered to honor its original character while enhancing its longevity.
