Description
Sergio Rodriguez (Brazil, 1927-2014), Mole Lounge Chair
1960s, ISA, Italy, tan leather upholstery, dark wood frame of solid jacaranda with rounded legs, leather buckle form strap supports with pegged joinery, labeled.
29 x 40 x 34 in., seat height 15 in.
Sergio has been dubbed the father of Brazilian furniture. Indeed, he was responsible for establishing a new paradigm in design, setting himself apart with his very own language in his quest for a clearly recognizable Brazilian identity. He became notorious for his use of robust woods like jacaranda, peroba and imbuia to create quintessential icons. His iconic Mole armchair was an immediate success, comprised of jacaranda and upholstered cushions supported by leather straps. The piece informed by Rodrigues’ playfulness and wit, readily became associated with a typically relaxed Brazilian attitude and lifestyle.
From the Collection of the late Ronald and Elizabeth Sher, Pittsboro, North Carolina
