Pazmiño for the Ecuadorian manufacturer Muebles de Estilo in the 1960s. It is one of the most recognizable examples of South American modernism, where Scandinavian simplicity meets local craftsmanship and pre-Columbian motifs.

The structure is made of solid meranti wood. The seat and backrest are made of thick, natural leather, hand-embossed with geometric patterns inspired by the art of the Incas and pre-Columbian cultures. The distinctive folding mechanism makes the armchair not only visually striking but also practical for everyday use.

The armchair is in good original condition. It shows visible signs of age and use, including scratches and abrasions to the wood and leather. It is missing the armrests and the horizontal bar under the seat, but this does not affect its quality or usability.

Although its form is understated, the armchair offers an exceptionally comfortable position for relaxation. The supple leather naturally adapts to the user over time, while the slightly reclined backrest and wide armrests provide comfort while reading or relaxing. This piece of furniture will look equally at home in a modern interior and a space decorated with a vintage feel, becoming a strong yet understated accent.
