Armchair in Hardwood & Cane by John Graz, 1950s
-
Description
The chair is made of Brazilian rosewood (also known as jacaranda) and consists of four toothpick legs, a backrest in straw caning, and delicately curved armrests that connect to the backrest. Also, the wood on this piece has been refinished and repainted and is now in excellent condition. This model was designed in the early fifties when production in Brazil was still very artisanal and production batches were small, so there is only a limited number of these chairs. This armchair is also one of John Graz most known designs, despite the fact that he wasn't a prolific furniture designer. To add on, this piece is a masterpiece of design. The organic shape of the structure gives a visual illusion of levity despite the fact the armchair is quite sturdy.
