Paulistano Canvas
A cult armchair signed by the hand of Paulo Mendes da Rocha, declined in colored fabric. Very comfortable, the Paulistano is a design classic with a timeless elegance.
The spring steel frame, presented in its original finish of phosphated carbon steel, polished stainless steel, or coated with an extremely durable epoxy paint, is covered with a genuine cotton canvas available in a wide range of colors.
Placed in a living room, a bedroom or a veranda, this armchair will adapt to any atmosphere.
Designed in 1957 by Paulo Mendes da Rocha, the Paulistano armchair was part, for many years, of the living rooms of the Athletic Club of São Paulo. The constructivist concept of the structure, made up from a single bended steel bar, and its cover, made up of leather or cotton, procure to this armchair an esthetical lightness and an incomparable comfort.
Edited in small series within the last years, the Paulistano armchair emerges from the past to show that the purity and the elegance of its lines are timeless: a masterpiece.
The Paulistano lounge chair has been included in the famous permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art of New York (MoMA)
