CANE ARMCHAIR

by Joaquim Tenreiro, 1958

This lounge chair is designed by the Brazilian master designer Joaquim Tenreiro. This chair designed circa 1958 has typical traits of the design by Tenreiro. First of all the use of jacaranda and cane, a typical combination that Tenreiro used very often. Although this combination is seen in a lot of Brazilian design, Tenreiro was one of the first to do so. The chair, with its straight lines in the frame and the diagonal cane back is an extremely strong, simplistic piece which has the perfect ratio.
