This elegant pair of armchairs by Giuseppe Scapinelli, crafted in the 1950s, combines an ebonized wooden frame with new upholstery in Pierre Frey wool, mohair and alpaca.

The sculptural armrests and curved backrest reveal Scapinelli’s mastery of proportion, while the open ladder-like structure adds a sense of lightness. Both refined and tactile, the design reflects the organic modernism that defined Brazil’s mid-century period.
