Description
The beautiful “Curva” chair is made in rosewood and caning and was designed by Joaquim Tenreiro (1906-1992) in 1961/1962. This chair embodies a sophisticated blend of traditional principles and modern design. Its elegant lines, characterized by slender stick backs and delicately carved, pointed feet reminiscent of a ballerina, create a sense of floating within the space.
