Created by Sergio Rodrigues (1927-2014) in 1956, the Oscar armchair was an homage to Oscar Niemeyer (1907-2012), one of the most important Brazilian architects in modern architecture development.
Oscar armchair is one of the projects that evolved from the Hauner Sofa (1954), Rodrigues' first furniture creation, presenting the same seating solution based on independent volumes. The cane backrests and seats rest over a wooden structure with light elements, such as the tapered feet and the seat support cutouts. The armrests are sculpted with anatomical design.
The chair was ordered by the Brazilian Jockey Club in Rio de Janeiro and refused by the client because it was "too modern." This kind of declaration shows how pioneering these productions were before it even fell into the public's taste.
This set is composed of six armchairs. Wood restoration and cane restoration are included.
