Pair of elegant “Curva” chairs, designed by master Brazilian modernist Joaquim Tenreiro, one of the most influential figures in the development of modern furniture in Brazil.

This pair exemplifies Tenreiro’s refined approach to design, combining organic, sculptural wooden frames with natural woven cane seats and backs, resulting in a timeless balance between structure, lightness, and craftsmanship. The fluid, curved lines are a defining characteristic of Tenreiro’s work and reflect his commitment to artisanal quality and modernist principles. Chairs are made out of Brazilian Rosewood.

The chairs were acquired in Brazil and have been professionally restored prior to purchase, ensuring structural integrity while respecting the original design. They are presented in excellent vintage condition, with no major defects and only minimal, age-appropriate wear.

Highly collectible and increasingly rare, these chairs are outstanding examples of Brazilian mid-century modern design, ideal for collectors, curators, and discerning interiors.
