Brazilian Modern Armchair Set in Hardwood & Beige Leather by Liceu de Artes 1960

Available today, this one-of-a-kind Mid-Century Modern armchair set in Hardwood & Beige Leather designed by Liceu de Artes e Oficios, in the sixties is nothing less than spectacular.

The delicate armchairs are made in Brazilian Rosewood, known as Jacaranda, and re-upholstered in beige leather. The Canoa (canoe) model was inspired by the Brazilian canoes used in the Amazon. This can be seen in the armchair arms that resemble a canoe handle. The woodwork is spectacular and can be seen throughout the piece but mostly in the arms and legs. The old Jacaranda has colorful veins showcasing the age of the piece as well as levity in its design.

The Italian leather is smooth, and the armchairs are not only beautiful but very comfortable. The wood was refinished and besides the marks of age (which are minimal) the set is in excellent condition. Sofa is available for sale also.

The set is displayed in our showroom next to a green Sergio Rodrigues Sofa and a Jorge Jabour Rosewood bench and the set looks chic and fabulous.

These Brazilian Modern beauties effortlessly flex into any Mid-Century Modern, modern, Contemporary environment. This piece would also look wonderful in a boho chic, or Hollywood Regency style home as well.

The piece was designed and executed by the Liceu De Artes & Oficios, an institution founded in 1873 by a group of elite coffee barons that pretended to train skilled labor for possible future industrialization of Brazil.

During the golden years of production many sofas, armchairs, credenzas by many Brazilian young designers were manufactured and commercialized by Liceu de Artes e Oficios. Lucio COSTA, the Brazilian urban planner, and architect best known for his plan for Brasilia taught and led the design department from 1938 to 1954.
