Description
Available today, with domestic shipping in NYC metro area included, Those Mid Century Modern Pair of Double “Longarina” Auditorium Chairs by Sergio Rodrigues, made in Brazil in 1965 is nothing less than spectacular.
This pair of double “Longarina” armchairs was designed for auditoriums and allows for both a comfortable and unique seating. It consists of a Brazilian Hardwood (also known as jacaranda) and iron frame with leather seats, which have been refinished to be in Good condition. What makes these chairs so unique is that the chair has a built-in mechanism that allows you to rock back and forth without moving the frame of the chair. In addition, the manufacturing seal can be seen on the back in between the chairs.
Sergio Rodrigues was a Brazilian furniture designer and architect. Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1927, he studied architecture and worked in various design fields before founding his own furniture company in the 1950s.
Rodrigues was known for using traditional Brazilian materials like wood and leather in his furniture designs, which gave his pieces a distinctly Brazilian aesthetic. He also drew inspiration from Brazilian culture and history, incorporating elements like the curving lines of Brazilian architecture and the colors and patterns of indigenous art. Additionally, he often looked to the natural beauty of Brazil for inspiration, using organic shapes and textures in his designs. Overall, Rodrigues's work reflected his deep appreciation for his country's rich cultural heritage and unique artistic traditions.
Some of his most famous pieces include the Mole and the Oscar armchairs. Rodrigues's work helped to establish Brazilian modernism as a prominent design movement, and he continued to create innovative furniture designs throughout his career. He passed away in 2014 at the age of 86. -
