Designed in 1963 and produced for a single year, the “Moleca” lounge chair stands among Sergio Rodrigues’ most collectible and emblematic works. Constructed in robust Brazilian hardwood with exposed leather strap supports and original design language intact, the chair represents Rodrigues’ commitment to structural honesty and sensual comfort.
This example has been professionally restored, preserving its integrity while enhancing its presence. The vermillion-toned upholstery reinforces the chair’s sculptural mass and inviting character.
Beyond its design significance, this particular chair holds contemporary cultural relevance—having appeared in the recent Denzel Washington and Spike Lee film Highest 2 Lowest, where it featured prominently in Washington’s apartment setting. A rare convergence of Brazilian Modernism and cinematic history.
An exceptional acquisition for collectors of Rodrigues, Brazilian design, or culturally significant interiors.
