Designed in 1962 by Sergio Rodrigues (1927-2014), this Vronka armchair is made of solid Rosewood structure and a floating, comfortable cushion. Like many designers of Rodrigues' generation, he dreamed of commercializing well-designed furniture produced in series.
In 1962 Meia-Pataca factory-cum-store was launched. The idea was to expand distribution and reduce production costs. Industrial thought is visible in the structural solution, applying juxtaposed wooden pieces of a square or rectangular section and straight corners. Other furniture pieces like the Franco sofa, the Tonico armchair, and the Vitrine Cofee Table, Vronka, follow the same structural thought.
