About the Item

A pair of iconic “Paulistano” armchairs designed in 1957 by Paulo Mendes da Rocha and produced by Objekto. Celebrated as a landmark of Brazilian modernism, each chair features a continuous bent steel frame supporting a suspended canvas sling, exemplifying a radical reduction of form and material. Originally conceived for the Athletic Club of São Paulo, the design embodies structural clarity, lightness, and exceptional comfort through its tension-based construction. Timeless and versatile, the Paulistano remains part of the Museum of Modern Art’s permanent collection and stands as a masterwork of 20th-century design. Please confirm pickup location (Brooklyn or New Jersey) with seller.
