The Brazilian Modern “Paulistana” Armchair with Ottoman, designed by Jorge Zalszupin in 1959 and manufactured by L’Atelier in Brazil, measures 76.97 cm wide, 81.28 cm deep, and 98.05 cm high. This mid-century modern icon features molded Brazilian rosewood (Jacaranda) outer shells, a chrome-plated metal base, and wool upholstery, reflecting Zalszupin’s innovative use of plywood after his European travels in the early 1960s. Named after the citizens of São Paulo, known as “paulistanos,” the chair showcases a light, organic structure with a sleek silhouette, offering exceptional comfort and a touch of Brazilian sophistication to any interior space.
Jorge Zalszupin, a Polish-born Brazilian architect and designer (1922–2020), became renowned for blending European modernism with Brazilian warmth, using tropical materials like rosewood. This particular set, sourced from a private residence in São Paulo, has been refinished with replated chrome and smooth, cozy wool upholstery. In good condition with minor wear, it remains a rare and iconic piece, highly sought after by collectors for its craftsmanship and timeless design, elevating any modern or vintage setting.
