The circular seat rests on four tapered legs in ebonized wood, each terminating in original metal sabots — a subtle but deliberate detail that elevates the silhouette and reinforces its modernist rigor.

This example has been newly upholstered in a warm ivory high-pile bouclé with subtle golden undertones and a dense, architectural looped texture, bringing depth and tactility to the otherwise minimal form. The soft volume of the seat contrasts beautifully with the linear discipline of the base, creating a composition that feels both grounded and refined.

Produced during a pivotal period of Brazilian mid-century design, Cimo’s work bridged industrial clarity and domestic warmth — pieces that were practical in origin yet quietly sophisticated in execution. The proportion (15" height; 20" diameter) allows the stool to function effortlessly as seating, a low side table, or a sculptural accent within a layered interior.

A compact yet striking example of 1950s Brazilian modernism — understated, material-driven, and increasingly collectible. See less
