Each armchair features a pair of T-shaped chrome steel feet, connected by a central crossbar that not only provides sturdy support but also adds a unique visual structure to the design. The wide seat and curved backrest embrace the sitter, offering exceptional comfort and support, while the clean lines and refined geometry make these armchairs as striking to view from any angle as they are to sit in—perfect for placement around a dining table or in any space where they can be admired from all sides. This large set, originally part of the School of Farm Administration, an institution under the Brazilian Ministry of Finance in Brasilia, reflects Zalszupin’s expertise in blending functional design with aesthetic sophistication. Furnishing this entire institution, Zalszupin established his reputation for designing not just furniture, but complete interior experiences. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
