A sculptural three-seat sofa designed by Jean Gillon in the 1970s, executed in solid Brazilian rosewood (jacarandá) and black leather—an iconic expression of Brazilian Modernism at its most architectural and materially confident.
The robust rosewood frame anchors the composition with structural clarity, while a system of exposed leather belts supports three generously proportioned loose cushions. This interplay between rigid hardwood and tensioned leather reflects Gillon’s mastery of balance—where craftsmanship and engineering become visible elements of the design language.
The sofa has been expertly reupholstered in black leather by Manuel and his atelier, artisans whose two decades of experience include working alongside Sergio Rodrigues. The result honors the original spirit of the piece while elevating comfort, structure, and finish to a museum-quality standard.
Designed with intelligent modularity, the frame can be fully disassembled, allowing for efficient export and compact shipping without compromising structural integrity. Bold yet refined, this sofa embodies the tactile richness and architectural discipline that define high-period Brazilian design of the 1970s—ideal for collectors seeking authenticity, material presence, and enduring functionality.
