Niemeyer

The rounded forms of the Niemeyer armchair are influenced by architectural details we find in the House of Canoas designed by Oscar Niemeyer in 1951. Having a refined design that follows the modernist freedom of forms and volumetric organicity, the armchair is a statement piece.



The upholstery work is meticulous and the seams are reduced to essential, in order to reproduce the backward movement of flat roof when seen from an aerial view. Upholstered in a special woven bouclé, this welcoming armchair receives people with a gentle embrace and feels the most comfortable place in the room. The black legs in natural dark oak, finished with elegant brass details, remind us of the elegant pillars that support the flat roof of the house.



The symbolism is strong and so it’s the design itself. Niemeyer is almost minimal in its inner hidden complexity. Reduced to the essential, the design and the details create a graceful symbiosis between form, function, narrative and symbolism.
