Exceptional pair of “Kilin” armchairs by Sergio Rodrigues, one of the most important designers of Brazilian Modernism.
Acquired by the current owner in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2006, these chairs have remained together in the same private collection for approximately twenty years.
The pair features substantial dark Brazilian wood frames paired with beautifully suspended cognac/reddish-brown leather seats and backs. The characteristic Kilin construction allows the leather to hang from the sculptural frame, creating the relaxed, low-slung profile for which Sergio Rodrigues’ work is internationally recognized.
Importantly, both chairs retain Sergio Rodrigues / Arquitetura Brasil identification medallions, photographed and included with the listing. The medallions provide an important identifying feature and distinguish this pair from unattributed examples frequently found on the secondary market.
The leather displays a warm, naturally developed character with variations, light marks and signs of use consistent with age. The wood frames retain a rich dark finish with attractive visible grain and minor surface wear. The chairs present beautifully as a matched pair.
The combination of sculptural Brazilian woodwork, suspended leather and exposed structural details exemplifies Rodrigues’ approach to furniture: sophisticated yet informal, with the materials and construction becoming part of the design itself.
